Couldn't be any more faithful to the color and affect of the bird itself than this image. Nicely done.

The border, IMO, is doing you no favors. The rendering is overly crunchy, at least on my monitor. For all of that, the lighting, the color, the careful placement of the field of focus, are exceptionally nice.

Technically this is pretty blah, but conceptually it's HIGHLY amusing. I can easily visualize the object itself displayed in a trendy modern art exhibit.

That's flat-out gorgeous. The dimensionality, the layering of it is exceptional.

I love the story. It's a remarkable find and an affecting image. Not enough "subject" for DPC: the single-bluebird shot would have done way better. But you've showed us something none of us have seen and few have heard of, so kudos to you :-)

Unrelated subject: I'm sure you've heard of Utah's "Pando", the massive organism of Aspen shoots? I just read about it and I was stunned...
