in a landscape image without a straight/parallel horizon is WORTHLESS

How in the world did I miss this? What a thought-provoking image for the Lenten / Easter season. Thanks for taking it.

For this challenge, I would have cropped the upper half of the picture, in order to have those wonderful bird-shapes as main subject. A tree reminds me more of earth than of heaven.

My favorite of the "bud" images. I like the backlighting very much, it makes the shot. The highlights might be a little hot in the brightest spots, but I don't think it detracts from the image. Maybe tilting it a little more and putting the leaves closer to the lower right corner could make the composition a little more dramatic.
