I don't know you but i think I gave you a 4 on your birdie picture but I felt it was strange to enter it in on a conflict contest but I actually don't care about that myself I would rather see a well excuted photograph than to care what the contest subscribes to.

By entering something that doesn't fit the challenge you are assuring yourself a failing score. I didn't get time to cast a vote in this challenge, but if I had you would have received another 1 (along with the other 31 1's you received.) Too bad because this is a beautiful picture well worth some very high points IN THE RIGHT CHALLENGE.

And this sparrow conflicts with...??? Nice photo. I love the out of focus background contrasting with the very sharp bird. It does require a stretch to fit this into the category though.
