The more creative you are, the more likely someone will dislike your entry. It is a rare person who can be exceptionally creative and have broad appeal as well. We all aspire to it. This did well and came in above mine.

Powerful and very effective - as near perfect an impression of fury as you can get. This is a great image and could very well be a iconic statement for any number of current social issues - very high WOW factor, strong artistic impression and a technical success in every way. Well done.

What a warm fuzzy shot! I like the intense eye contact , the reflected light, and the detail in the feathers in this. Did he try to peck your lens? It feels funny when they munch on your fingers. Their mouth has plates and no teeth, so it just feels like pressure but not at all sharp. It's the legs and claws that you have to watch out for.

I love the sense of narrative here, and the feeling of having a glimpse into another world.
