Just clicked on your profile and rediscovered this photo. I remember how impressed I was by it when I viewed it in the original challenge, and it has lost none of it's impact. Excellent, thought provoking work.

Ha, nice find! Like you, I'm generally not keen on selective desat, but this is perfect for the occasion.

What a gorgeous photo - perfectly posed, natural, sharp where it needs to be, soft were it doesn't. Perfect.

More of your doves, but with a quite different feeling to the last. The diagonal of the composition works really well. Really pleasing.

Beautifully presented - the quality of bird photography that I aspire to.

Wonderful detail of both the bird's form and plumage, and a type of heron I have never seen nor heard of before. There does seem to be a bit of a halo around the bird - certainly worth playing around with the edit a bit more.

The Worlds Largest_____?

A Jedusi? Well I never....

This is great - certainly bringing me something new - expanding my world view and all! It would be cool to have something in the frame to give an idea of scale ( I'm not quite sure I trust Jedusi's version...). How fast can these things move? This one looks so fat that I'm sure it can't do more than waddle - I fear they may make rather attractive and easy meals for birds of prey.
