Well, you just missed the sexy curve, and thankfully missed the brown as well. You ended up with a fat woman that has large breasts and very small ankles an feet. The image definitely has tension and interest, but the softness and business is somewhat difficult for my eye to linger on. I will say that the flow of the subject matter itself definitely keeps my eye wandering the frame. I always look forward to your entries. While not always 'DPC Friendly' they are never lacking thought and creativity.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,

It's eerie how I'm getting more and more in tune with you :-) I was one of your top-9 votes, LOL. You knew it was doomed, of course, but gawd whatta lovely shot...
The camera shake really destroyed my 1st opinion of your shot. Perhaps emphasised by a severe crop? Had the nest been in focus, then the OOF bird would have drawn my attention more and it would have scored higher.
i like motion blur but there's a bit much here, a little hard to understand the shot. i see the bird and i think it flying by fit the challenge well though.
