Backyard Resident, at least until he can fly!

I'm going to have to grade this down a bit for not being about YOUR home, IMHO. This is of course just my own (perhaps over-narrow) interpretation of the challenge, but I have to draw lines somewhere to make judging easier, and I feel people who tried to shoot their own home deserve a better chance at high scores. Great macro nature shot ... but not for this challenge.

Very unusual and very unflattering. It's a unique shot and perspective. I don't like that the lips and nose look so large and the cheeks look puffy - if someone took this picture of me, I'd scream! lol Nice lighting and unique view.

You are right about that. Too bad it has no appeal. I can see you spent some time making it but it doesn't get my interest. 4

Just not a flattering angle for a portrait (nice detail and color though).
