Comment by Nuzzer:
Interesting location for the pigeon, the shot seems a little oversharpened or maybe it's due to resizing?

I like that there are more elements than just grass in this one. I can't totally tell but it looks like there's too much sharpening plus extra noise reducer to over compensate for it. This makes it look overprocessed in that sense.

to me the background (wall/space) is off on this...but I do like the clarity of the bird..

old tractors are a wonderful subject to shoot any day - I love them! - but the red (except on the wheels and under the radiator) looks too pink for this photo to come across as well as it should

My first Ribbon!!! Thank you everyone for the nice votes and comments. I sincerely appreciate it. I try really hard to submit something interesting and different for each challenge and feel like the hard work was rewarded. This shot is taken in Canton, Georgia at the Georgia National Military Cemetary and Monument. It is a very moving place, and I took the shot with my 8 year-old son on the 4th of July weekend to remind him (and myself) in part about the sacrifices our soldiers have made and make every day for our country. Thank you again...
