"If your weather and location cooperate, shoot the total eclipse of the moon."
I must say I'm disappointed Alex.
You're weather cooperated but your location did not. This is not a question of bending the rules (or even the perceived lack of understanding/grey area of the description), art, artistry and later justification of DMC/DNMC and Forum Fights, but your integrity.

Perfect. Exactly the spirit of the challenge. Cute vote. Not sure the lack of detail in the eye will be noted by hasty voters but still a 7.

I've just noticed that Avg (commenters): 5.0000! That means the other two commenter̢۪s gave you a any one of these combinations 5 and a 4, 6 and a 3, 7 and 2 or 8 and a 1 (With my 6 equals an average of 5...)

I gave it a 6 btw Anita. I don't believe punishing someone for their interpretation of processing. And for me a 5 (or less) is punishment. What did the colour shot look like? Possibly a 7 in Colour where 90% of the shot would have been black or grey and just the red bill standing out. Black and white in Wildlife is used for more dramatic and emotive work.

I don't like the hand of man (man made objects) in a WILD-life challenge. However the birds are "non-domesticated" and it's cleverly titled. DMC wrt to the birds but the structure makes this "nature" not "wildlife" imo.

A very beautiful minimalist image which I like a lot. Sadly the wire is man made and as a wildlife photographer I believe the hand of man should not appear in a wildlife image-challenge even if the animal is non domesticated. Bumped to 6 as the challenge interpretation is rather vague and open ended.
