you're making me diz-zy. excellent capture, very well composed. love the side-lighting--that's really an extra treat. hope this doesn't get lost in the shuffle, and that viewers take the time to appreciate what you've done here. good luck in the challenge!

oh, my. what an absolutely striking image. you nailed this one, and have caught something that will be appreciated for years. great work. most people don't realize the level of trust required to produce something like this. i hope this image gets the time necessary for it to be appreciated (like the little things, like the scar). good luck in the challenge!

ok, fine! i like your image, but i'm having a hard time factoring out the jealousy quotient! whenever i try something like this, my birds become dots! this is great work! the range of colors and the motion of the birds really bring this moment to life. i really hope this gets the attention it deserves, and that it doesn't get lost in the shuffle. as i have nothing further to offer, i'm just going to sit back and enjoy it for a moment, if you don't mind. good luck in the challenge!

what a moment you've captured! i think it would even be more foreboding if you had cropped off the top 25% of the image. that would have kept the horizon from splitting the image in half, and it would have made the darkness of the clouds a bit more intense. but hey, that's just my opinion. you have a beautiful image. thanks for sharing, and good luck in the challenge!
