Great processing and wonderful eye to catch the beauty in the simplistic things. I love the patterns of the lighting.

All my blooms are dead now. I already miss them. Nice color and and overlay would go a long way in disguising the noise. You should play around with some.

Comment by K3Master:
They'd found her those 5 years ago, lying in a clump of grass, dirty and abandoned, crying. Normally, it'd have been considered a meal, that small and helpless thing. It wouldn't have stood a chance.

Cartha and her brood, however, were not normal. They'd always been a bit of an outcast group among their kind. They preferred to feed on scraps instead of carrion, and for this they'd been forced from the community. So it was fortunate for this tiny babe, abandoned here for whatever reason, that it was Cartha's clan that happened upon her. Some stroke of fortune, or perhaps a gift from some higher power, they'd never know.

What they did know is that they tended to that child, feeding it, keeping it warm, caring for it, and it grew with them and became one with them. Now, these 5 years later, Cartha new it was time to set the child free, to be with its own kind and so she set out to teach it to fly and go off to search for her own.

It was a disaster.

Your right about the "peeking out", it's the first thing I thought of when I seen this shot. Nice use of DOF.
