Taken in the mountains of Colorado above Boulder. I pulled off the side of the road and saw these three birds (vultures maybe) sitting in a dead tree and thought, "perfect tree shot!"
Only thing I regret is not having a better zoom than 55mm.

Oh my, what a fantastic shot. Interesting and beautifully composed, where's just so much here for the viewer's eyes to wander over. I think the obligatory reduction in resolution kills this shot a bit - there's just so much there, I'd prefer to be able to admire it in its full res glory. Fascinating view, and a creative take on the challenge. The colourful busyness of the shot is probably what killed your score in the challenge, but it's also what makes this shot for me, so - meh, oh well, a score isn't always a good measure of the quality of the shot anyway...
Anyway, I look forward to exploring more of Colorado through your future challenge entries :)
I love the composition and wouldn't change it except to maybe bring out the tree with the birds (perhaps by blurring slightly the background). Also wondering if a closer shot onto the birds/tree would have been more effective (but I would have had to play around with the shot to be sure)???
