ps .. the more i look at this the better it gets .. !! ..
i was just about to exit this pic and took one last look .. she took on an almost 3D quality .. that fur is amazing .. i feel i could reach out and pat her and bury my fingers in her luxurious coat .. :)

dont know what this awesome pic is doing here in 9th place ...
just my personal opinion that it has a lot more going for it than a couple of the pics that beat it ..
it is a great black and white edit .. and i'm feeling that the bright sunlight might have given you a bit of a headache in the editing .. i could be wrong ..
love the details and her proud posture ..
its always a shame that we cage these amazing animals in zoos ... once again i could be wrong .
you could have taken a quick trip to africa and been face to face with nothing separating you but air .. ;)

this and the kestrel that got the yellow were my choices for first and second ..
both are wonderful .. altho so very different ..
this has so much going for it .. much of which its hard to express in words ..
congratulations on the ribbon .. its a stunning, beautiful and emotive shot .. :)

not sure if you're joking ..
this was one shot ..
I put the other photo in to show the birds at the bird bath as ppl thought they didn't look real .. :)

oh so cool ..
this is my kinda image . loving the bokeh . thats really awesome ..
the rich colours are wonderful too ..
whats particularly excellent is that this .. by the title .. is a microphone ... and there you have created dancing bokeh that seems to just shout some sort of exuberance .. either visual or auditory .. works for me ... :)
