 Not a whole tree... will this be dinged heavily by the DPC trolls? Time will tell.

The bird really makes the shot. The blurred object bottom right is distracting though.

I really like this image. The blur on the right in the foreground is a bit distracting, but otherwise a great shot.

I love this shot, it's really great! The colors and even the border ("even" because usually i'm not a fan of borders) are great! But i might be unfair at this, but i don't think the prime object is the tree, but the bird. I hope you do well! Good luck!
