Man...a 5.2??!! I love the flowing movement of this image. Your commenters are closer to the score this should have received!

this is nice enough, but it doesn't really grab me. not really sure if i'm sold on the post-processing. the hues just seem a bit unnatural.

Absolutely beautiful! And of course, lost on the majority of this audience. I normally don't like frames but the thin white one is a nice touch here. Not overbearing. Everything in this presentation just works perfectly!

I'd be interested to know if this was very saturated or not but regardless the look of it is pleasing as is the position of it's wings.

Geez. What do voters know anyway. I gave it a 10, beautiful image.

Very cool abstract. This reminds me of a favorite photo of mine Impression: Flight. While not the same I felt both shots captured the "essense" of birds and flight. It's a shame this scored so low but obviously you must know it was destined for it.

We would all learn so much more if the priorities of the voters were reversed in that the whole of the image weighted first and then technical aspects and challenge relevancy second. To rate the technicals and challenge theme first to me robs you of "seeing" the photo and the photographer's intent.

I thought this picture was going to be at least top 10.
