A good idea. It's good DOF but I think I'd have liked it better if the flower were in focus too.

I'm hoping the 'gesture' is accidental. I guess it's funny but something I'd avoid posting for a challenge photo.

The leaf in the way is a major distraction otherwise I think it would place much higher then it probably will.

The only down-side that I can see would be the obvious - the vignette. I don't think it will appeal to the masses but I like it. Your 'subject' is very animated to say the least and of course, it reminds me/us that we are fortunate souls. I'm giving your photo a 10 and am hoping it will finish in the top 20 of this mega-entry challenge. Brightest Blessings.

Something about this ordinary bird is very compelling to me. Very nice work and I hope it finishes in the top 20. I'm giving it a 10.

I really, really like your photo. It looks like a very interesting place - like places I've seen in New Mexico, Arizona or Utah. I'm giving it a 10 and hope it will finish in the top 20 in this mega-entry challenge.

Simply perfect, simply 10. I'm hoping it's in the top 5 if not higher.

The focus and contrasting colors are so amazing I imagine it will finish in at least the top 20.

An excellent photo. I can't think of any way to improve it and I'm sure it will be in top contention for a ribbon. Good luck to ya!
