Watching the extinction line...

I do feel that this might have been stronger if it hadn't been framed quite so tightly; in particular, I find the cut off ears rather awkward. There are a number of 'spots' where the detail appears missing, which I do find somwaht distracting.

These are somewhat similar to the ubiquitous European starling - a good take on the challenge; I particularly like the way the the conversational birds are sitting on a telephone line!

Some type of plover? A super study of the bird, which really gives me a feel of its' nature.

There is a bizarre surrealistic sense to this - in all honesty, I can;t really decide what I make of it...

Stare

This bold photo is an interesting take on the challenge. The perspective works well, and I love the way the pelican (?) stares at the viewer - the intensity is superb. I am undecided about the one sidedness of the image - on balance I feel I would have preferred more balance with the lighting, but at the same time I do appreciate the boldness.

Nice one! The glare is a little distracting - not sure if a polariser filter might help in such situations?
