 Yeah, this won't do well. Still, I need an update button and I did enter this heads up to the death side challenge thingy. . . . I like the shot, just not so much a fan of the shoehorn thing.

:)

Maybe I'll be surprised!

OK, I went the day after voting started and read the challenge description. It turns out I was looking for some deep meaning for "Life" when all I needed was something alive. . . no shoehorn after all. I had much better shots for this challenge than this! :)

Nice photo. Is the feather the real colour? It looks so blue to me.

His back seems kinda blue. I wish he would have looked at the camera.

Would have been better had you been able to see the chick better

Good bokeh, crisp and clear. Great shot, but I feel too sorry for the chick to really appreciate it. What type of chick was it?

Stunning creature. Wish the lighting was more on the bird, and less on the yellow background.

Great shot. I would have loved it if the background was brighter than the bird.
