very nice shot. It almost looks like a little Orten Effect. It is just great.

I think SC really need to look into who gave this a 1,2 or 3... I know everyone has their own opinions, but jeez, not only does this nail the challenge (duh!) but the use of colour and lighting is top notch... Could easily pass for a Librodo shot.

I would so love to know who voted this down, gutless little fuckwads that they are.. nice one MAK, you deserve it with this shot.

Smile for the Birdie!

Grind those teeth! Good capture, I like the DOF and how the bird is staring at the deer in a 'what the hell are you doing?' sort of way.

A striking capture. Way to go team Mak and Hanae!
If I where the betting type I'd say the odds where heavily in favor of this getting into the top3. Very well deserved. Great shot all around. Congratulations :)

Oh MAK! Sorry its not a personal best -- but this is absolutely stunning -- and what a tribute to your technical talent to be able to pull this off in basic editing.

Hanae looks so gorgeous! CONGRATULATIONS!
