Ace bokeh and great colours, together with the unusual 'pose' make for a really nice shot, I like it :)

That's it! Next year I AM going to migrate!

Wendy, I think you got excellent feed back during the challenge. Some people, who are sticklers for the litteral meaning of the challenge title, gave it DNMC. Some people thought it was wonderfully appropriate and very touching, but all seemed to agree it is a very good photo. Don't fret the score, I think the low votes were due to DNMC, which just isn't so.

This is a great photograph; I like how the boy is lit by light from the window, as he and the giraffe ponder what could have been were it not for the window separating them. However this private, secluded moment doesn't capture the essence of a main road. As others have noted, in a different challenge this would have scored higher.

I like the ambiguity of the bird's posture. You can't tell if hes falling up, down, getting ready to land. Its up to the viewer to decide. Love the golden background too.
