I recognize this place! I hope it's doing well! I have a similar one that I'm quite fond of, but I haven't processed it yet. I'll have to process it and compare. :)

What a wonderful day it was! (just peeking now -- voting later)

Very intriguing background! I don't think I would have liked the photo as much without it.

I'm having a hard time voting on this challenge. In my opinion, the hardest part of this challenge was in the description: "A happy color: make a photo with just a touch of yellow as an accent." The yellow here isn't just a touch or an accent -- it's the main feature. Sorry. :(

A touch and some yellow

I really like how you edited this. The texture on the wing is wonderful. It doesn't bother me, but I know that some people would think the top of the head and the little area on the neck are blown. I always look at things like that and see if it can be brought back (simply because people seem to hone in on that). But as I said, it doesn't bother me.

The only nit I have to pick is the cropping. It seems squished on the right. If you want to keep the whole tail, is there more on the bottom you could bring in? Perhaps putting the babies on the rule of thirds line might give it more space? I'd rather crop in from the left, though.

I was one of your 8s -- I really like that it's not overprocessed. So many of them were over-sharpened. This is so clean and beautiful. Extremely well done!
