Very appealing. Love the processing...a nice folk art piece.

One of the more accessible posthumous ribbons (though I am a fan). Magic and restraint.

Looks like a colored pencil sketch, and...I can see this as an illustration in a children's book. I quite enjoy it.

I think this is a very captivating shot and I think the processing did it. I don't think it would have been nearly as nice without it. Good job.

you have the eye of a painter. this is pure ecstasy.

There are several images in this challenge that I am in love with. But this is the one that is like nothing I've seen before. So I'm giving it my personal blue ribbon.

I like how most of the white birds are kind of watching what the gray/blue one is doing. The crop doesn't feel particularly dynamic, and though it's a nice image, it doesn't really jump out at me.

Nicely done .... looks like a scene out of a Disney film.

has an unnatural look

Like brushstrokes! The bits of the white birds really stand out nicely in contrast. The egrets (I think they are) seem somewhat envious of the bird flying over. Really quite an interesting photograph.

Looks like a painting of waterbird heaven.

Too much saturation I think. I would like to see the original.

I recognize those birds :) EXCELLENT choice for a Best of 2007 challenge. I hope it is doing great. I will certainly do my part in giving this the high score it deserves!

The processing makes the image look like a painting (which may be what you wanted to achieve). Unforetunately, it does not work for me. You have what appears to be nicely capture nature shot and a well focused sharp image mahy have given it a National Geographic feel. Sorry. Good Luck. 3.

Nice! I like how it looks like a painting.

a bit overexposed to me, lost the eyes and sharpness on egrets

Birds not really in focus

Interesting... My first reaction was "Shame about the burnt highlights", but actually, that combined with the post-processing turns it into a rather intriguing impressionistic work of art. Not sure I'm too keen on the composition, but overall it certainly stands out.
