I really would have like to see this a little brighter in exposure...your background although is quite blown out...but what a pretty bird (Woodpecker right)

Nice capture! The bright BG would make this shot difficult to post process.

Coming off to me as heavily backlit and flat looking, I'm afraid. Perhaps some adjustments (such as curves, saturation, contrast) could punch it up a bit but I am not really sure.

Originally posted by Nuzzer: Which country? Oh, if I look close I can see these are US dollars. SO the spirit of the USA is greedy capitialism is it? I'm not convinced. The shot lacks definition. Sorry, DNMC IMO.

his "statement" is spot on the challenge, IMO. the greed is good immorality ran into the perfect storm of a willfully ignorant populace that worships militarism. guess what? we cant afford empire now. time to see if perhaps our values are askew; time to see if our citizens might needs some of these bucks instead of the arms merchants and the other war profiteers. but I digress. great job of smacking the challenge theme over the head!

Well, the Statue of Liberty reference is a little vague, but I'm glad someone made a critical statement!

IMO you loose some of the beauty of your picture with the foreground you have. If you had "hiked" over that and got the mountains in the background only...this shot IMO would be greatly improved
