this is outstanding .. i should have voted in this challenge but i've had really slow internet so its too much of a pain .. i would have given you a 10 .. it totally fits the challenge and is a magic shot to boot ..
now i'm going to google the original of the saying 'to boot' .. its a weird one .
congrats on fourth place btw and a perfect image for the challenge .. :)

I very much like the light hitting the bluebird and the resultant shadow on the house. I'm thinking you could lose quite a bit from the bottom - crop just below the shadow leaving a bit of breathing room but not much. The resultant horizontal would emphasize the story, I think, and get rid of that boring bright bottom that my eye wants to focus on. 7

This was a piece of art Larry. I can actually imagine seeing this in a hotel lobby, or maybe a beauty spa, or maybe in a cafe. The list goes onâ€Â¦.

And personally I think it should̢۪ve ribboned.

just reading this and did literally laugh out loud ..
would pulling wings off dead cicadas come a close second to pulling teeth ..
as it would definitely not be as exciting .. no wonder you delegated that job to the kid next door .. ;)
also i'm quite surprised that Lydia could have for one moment thought you were that cruel boy .. ;)

Wow! So many wings. Do you collect them? (I have a small collection of deceased insects.) This forms a really lovely pattern.
