WOW .. !! .. an original and different take .. love the close up and how it makes me curious ..
its very brilliant ken .. ..:)
congrats on a great place in the challenge .. :)
The title of this image coencides beautifuly with this challenge, in my opinion. I believe this image would score potentially higher if the majority of the detail hadn't been lost in the feathers. Aside from that I believe this is a great image, and the close crop creates a mystery, which would intrigue potential visitors,thus, promoting your zoo. 9
At first I thought it was a fish. Now, I think it's a bird. I'm pretty sure it's a bird. I like the close-up and I think it's probably the only one in the challenge. Nice to see something different. Excellent focus.
