Everytime I see SC I think of Janis Joplin. Supposedly, she drank an entire fifth of it before each concert!!

Nice clear image. Maybe not that exciting, but it's a literal translation of the challenge and works pretty well.

This is quite amazing seeing an eagle in the berries like this, and he even posed for you as well.....

Well composed shot, but a little flat with the coloring. Perhaps a bit of bumping up the saturation in the yellow, a tad of red and a bit of the green channel could kick this up a notch.

The focus on the eagle is a bit soft, and the RED berries steal all the glory here. I like the framing, but I think the eagle needs some more space around it to pop.

Hi Rissa...

The color and starkness of this photograph works well in the overall theme. I believe that the composition could create some more impact in the long run by creating some diagonal flow in the image with the placement of the needles. The parallels are more static and diagonals creating triangles within the image would create some added dynamics in the composition. Just some food for thought :)
