Awesome shot! Wish I had the gumption to get up early like this. Technically and artistically superb.

Love it! What a wonderful, candid image. Great use of DOF to highlight a truly comical moment. That yellow light (in background) does distract a bit, but overall I think it's a great capture.

Wow. This is excellent. I browsed through this challenge, but didn't vote. This definitely underrated. Must be due to the large number of excellent shots. In a regular challenge, it would have been at the top (IMHO).

Although the concept isn't unique, the execution is great. I spent a lot of time marveling at how well the kiwi was cut to fit, and how it wasn't mushed up. Nice, crisp focus and great colors.

Well, it must have worked because I don't see a blue wire. This is a really nice image. Love the composition. Good detail in the fur, with only a couple of small blown highlights. Very charming shot.

Great shot. We have a lot of these here, but I haven't gotten to see them dance. I do have a video of three doing a toned-down version of this, with lots of calling. Fascinating birds.

I don't think they were angry. It's part of their culture. Here's a pretty good link. //www.wildlifeprairiestatepark.org/animalpages/sandhill_crane.htm

spider blending in

That's the most weevil-looking spider I have ever seen. It's certainly blending in. Excellent example of camouflage!
