Often I enter challenges, not so much hoping for a good score as wondering what others will think and say about my entry. I apologize for not commenting during voting, it gets overwhelming sometimes. But seeing as this was one of the best images in the challenge, and one of my 8s, but got no comments, I'll give you my impression.

This is a wonderfully composed image, with excellent technicals as well. I admire how you were able to keep the whites intact, but not make the entire image too dark. The way the tree on the right framed and balanced the diagonals of the other trees is also very nice. Thank you.

nice interpretation, as one's death is the others survival. death of one animal is food for the other. good work...

My first thought is that I see the hunter and the hunted in this,not the illustration of life and death in a single image. Beautiful colors though on the bird.
