WOW .. !! .. this is AMAZING . !!! ..
i dont understand the low votes you have .. as this totally fits the challenge .. and is a fantastic image ..
it can be very offputting and disheartening in these challenges when something of this calibre is seen as worthy of a vote of 2, 3, 4 or even 5 ..
i spose in a few days, a week or a month . this will wont even matter and you will have something awesome under your belt .. a photo that totally kicked every single goal .. :)

i've heard these little guys are extremely difficult to photograph .. takes dedication and patience ..
even if we had them here in australia i doubt i could photograph them like you have ..
i imagine it would be like photographing a flying insect as those birds are so small ..
many congratulations on such a wonderful photo and of course the red ribbon .. :)..

i absolutely love how you are able to translate some of the very challenging issues we face as humans .. into amazing and thought provoking images .. even before reading your comment on this one the message is clear ..
congratulations on the blue ribbon .. and thankyou for your words ..
most of us are broken in some way .. and also unconscious .. a lot of ppl believe that what they see is all there is to it .. when there is so much more .. so there is such fear .. fear in nearly every aspect of our lives .. so of course our society suffers and also our planet ..
i truly believe in not focusing on all the negative messages we are fed in the media .. for starters .. how much of it is true .. and it can keep us weighed down in fear if we let it .. why not instead focus on all the good things that are all around us and lift the energy of the planet ..
there's a very wise saying .. what you fear you attract ..

Look - asparagus is growing in our garden again!

he was facing down in the actual photo Maricua .. and i added a much more interesting background to the actual oof green grass .. but i wanted to imbue it with more meaning in a way .. life can be so difficult .. and it seems like we face so many up-hill hurdles .. and when you think about it .. the climb .. altho difficult at the time .. can lead to some wonderful things .. well that's what i keep telling myself .. :)
