Being that these are a plague (literally, they carry the plague out here) upon the land, I'm amazed to see one get top honors here. Not going to lie- something I'd never thought I'd see.
Well shot.
And as to their foliage eating- they do this with pretty much everything, picking up all manner of things and chomping upon it. The ones in more urban areas are EXTREMELY tame, to the extent that you could get close enough to achieve your FoV with a 50mm, but in the boonies, you'd need at least a 500mm lens. Strange little creatures.
Did they do all the same noises at the zoo? I can't imagine you got to hear all of them, as the tame ones are much less interesting in that regard. |
I forgot about their noises!! No, they weren't making noises. And at the times I've seen them in the dakotas and out west, I've only heard the noises once or twice -- and it's been a blast!! The last one seemed to have to throw himself up and almost backwards a little bit to make his barking call!! |

I don't mean to disappoint you, I do love your work and I am glad you entered this shot. I like your thought process and none of this is to take away from the shot. I can see where you feel this shot is about the leaf and wether I agree or not is irrelevant. Foliage is not a single leaf (and you are far from the only person to enter a shot with a single leaf). Foliage is a mass noun, referring to leaves as a collection or innumerable amount, a single leaf or 2-3 leaves do not amount to "foliage" but to leaves. If the challenge was leaf or fall leaves or leaves or even plant leaves that is different. Foliage is the mass of plant leaves which is not the case in this shot, or a number of other entries. The voters voted fairly and you won first page placement deservedly but I feel it missed the mark of the challenge (as do so many in many challenges, often my own) So please do not take this personally, it being on the front page made this the targeted shot but not do at all by lack of quality. As I said before, I do love your thought process and I love that you push the boundaries of the challenge theme, which I hope more people will do. But I feel as though the challenge was not met but the voters thought it was, or maybe they just didn't care because it is such a well done shot. I don't know, perhaps I was out of line, I just wanted to see what others thought but I also hope more people will see this as a way of thinking more loosely about the challenge. Maybe it is because I am marrying an English teacher and definitions get to me more now... Please do accept my congratulations on a gorgeous shot but it is a congratulations to a shot that I think doesn't really fit in this challenge theme.
eta, as far as single leaf shots, this one by far rises above the others. |
I can see where you're coming from -- yet so many times challenges are listed in the plurals -- barns, animals, windows, doors, road signs. Macros, singles, parts, always seem to be an acceptable part in these cases. But I understand more where you're coming from, and it makes more sense now. :) |
