Absolutely fantastic composition and a powerful statement pertaining to the "END" The almost empty coke bottle conveys the message in a convincing way and the addition of the straw adds a visual element with a striking impact. Excellent depth of field and lovely sharp detail combined with natural colors.

Exceptional out of the box thinking type of shot with a short powerful title and a display of photographic skill and control not often encountered. Fantastic tones and contrast combine with a well thought out theme to form an integrated image with strong visual appeal and universal message.

End of beauty

Comment:
Wonderful image that has an almost surreal and poetic beauty and evokes thoughts about the shortness of life and that beauty does not last. The lost freshness of youth, the disappearance of the spring in your footstep, the aches and the pains and the weariness of life taking it's toll. All these things encapsulated so vividly and competently, with so much verve and with so much feeling in this simple yet beautiful image. Exceptional detail, sharpness and luminance.

One of the best in the challenge. Absolutely stunning image of this incredible animal and beautifully composed. The look in it's eyes has been captured in a exceptional way and one can feel the powerful emotions of the hunter as he /she closes in for the kill. The challenge theme "The End" is mirrored here perfectly. The lighting is brilliant and the image displays a full range of tones and fantastic detail. A masterwork in every way. Should definitely ribbon imo
