Excellent shot with great colouring.
When I see these guys in Japan, I never see them flying over open water - unless it's a flooded rice field. ;-)

I like the composure here and the way the tones and lighting frame the subject tree. I am also captivated by the likelihood that this tree grew at that location... It looks to me as though some extraordinary forces planted a very large piece of driftwood for us to marvel over. The post processing of the photo isn't quite as subtle as I prefer yet I suspect that it takes harshness out of the scene which would likely be more distracting.

Tuborg? Another nice piece of eye candy. The abuse of dodge and burn makes this look completely computer generated though, and for this shot I don't think it was the way to go. Of course it will score well, I have no doubt. I still wonder what exactly nature had offered to my eyes here before photoshop smashed it out of existence.
