Taking a wild, semi-educated, guess ... "I also did the land scape, tried to show the lighting and the way it woked bringing up the bark patterns I am rewarded at 4.9487... ".

From the scores thread I'm guessing this is yours Nick? Couple more days and I'll find out for sure. :-)

... although it's slightly possible you could be talking about this ([thumb]1201758[/thumb]) one, but I think that one may be scoring higher than 4.9 (the lighting and focus on it is a little stronger than the one being commented on here).

Great catch! We have some of these on our wooded property and they are very skittish (tough to approach). Well done!

How would you ever get a sunrise / sunset photo if you don't? Nice photo - flimsy rule breaking IMO.

Ah, but you did place the subject on the upper-third line. LOL Centered subjects can do well actually. Good luck.
