Oooh - I was one of the "middle finger" crowd (gave it a 5). No matter how hard you try to explain it, it just doesn't scream "from above". Yeah, call me a DNMC Nazi on this one. In any case, you ended up with still an amazing image. ...not that you need any more of those. ...but not that you need any more ribbons either. ...ok, I'm done yammering on. :D

I gave it an 8 and thought it was great.
But now I can see that many disagree.

Eh, whatcanyado. :)

Wow - how did this end up way down here? I gave it an 8. Must be the orientation that put some folks off.

Nice job, Ben. I gave it a 6 and should've left a comment - the one thing that I think hurt this is the awkward way big sis is holding the baby. If she had cradled it (both arms under), I think it would've made a much more positive impact. ...but whaddo I know. Anyway - it's certainly a family keeper! :D

Agree with Tammer - the tattered look of the bird is what appealed to me. I gave it a 7.
Coincidentally, I just saw "A Murder of Crows" (1999 DVD) this past weekend where the title was explained in the movie's dialog.

Very nice work, Skip. "shrug" is about all you can do. ...other than scratch your head. :D

It got an 8 from me.

Now had you captured the blood, guts & feathers churning up in the wake, I would've given it a 10. ;-)

Well I really loved it! I thought it has a good stock image quality to it as well as the emotional connection and the excellent title.

Well I scored it a 7. Maybe a little too much dark clutter in the image. Looks like it would be a fun shoot though.
