I will miss following this elegantly simple series.

I don't know why it makes me happy that you have taken up his work planting the trees, but it does.

Urban Carrion — a Rabbit's End

I don't like this as much as the bird wings at Plymouth (which I love) but the two of them have the makings of an interesting series. Luck rabbit's foot, on the wing of a bird, pretty laden symbolism for road kill.

Sneaking for a smoke

This is in my top 3, a great take on nature existing in a gritty urban environment. Im sure the clipped upper left will cost you votes, but to me it speaks to the hurried view we get of the city life, taking in thisngs in hurried partial views.

Simple, clean and great DOF control. I wonder if i might have liked it a bit better if the concrete had not been completely de-saturated, but either way it is a well seen and presented image.

yet another of my personal top ten that truly speaks to the way wildlife is sen in an urban environment. The action all taking place on the perifery of the frame and the strong grain really work.

Urban curiosity

I do like the contrasting colors and the framing, but the orange cast in the birds feathers makes him look like he has been dusted in powdered paint.

Pure poetry. Just a lovely composition, something that I would have walked past without seeing has been saved by your way of seeing. Subtle and beautifully framed.

Precision Approach

Definitely the best critter shot in the challenge, you cant beat eagles and getting two of them in range is a stroke of fortune, capturing them at just the right moment speaks of skill. My only knock is the saturation of the sky. I know this is the color of the sky when captured with long glass on a clear day, but it is just so jarring that I feel it hurts the image, the purity of the color wrestles the eye away from these magnificent birds. Had you muted the blue down a bit, or gone whole hog and converted to B&W (as I did with my much more prosaic bird shot with the over blue sky) it would have been the pick for the top spot. As is top five.
