Nice look to that sunburst, with the hints of prismatic color. The winding leaves in several directions adds energy.

Lovely shot!

One day, the Pixie Dust Faeries breezed through a field of flowers, sprinkling Blue Magic on all the flowers in the land. All of the flowers turned a lovely shade of blue. However, there were these one group of flowers that simply refused to turn blue! Their yellow heads stood out amongst all of the other blue flowers, standing proud and tall. Their bright yellow shone out from a sea of blue, making them more special than the rest. And, try as they may, the Faeries just simply could not turn these flowers into the shade of blue that all of the others had turned. They were simply far too resilient to ever conform.

And, so they stand today.....the yellow flowers in a blue world, bringing happy smiles to all that have the luck to gaze upon their beauty. Some will say that they do not fit in. Others will say.....they stand out. I, personally, believe that they have chosen to "stand out" and be themselves with will and determination because afterall, they are beautiful and they have learned to recognize that fitting in, doesn't necessarily mean "beauty"!

You made the birds seem at one with their environment, which of course these excellent seabirds are. Nice light on the foreground water.

You're so funny! I actually think this is way better than Mediocre. I love the dof you captured, and the pp is great. What a nice and different take on the challenge. Very well thought out.

Nice take on the blueness of the background. At first glance, it looks like your white balance is of, but then the original has the same effect. Very interesting.

I thought this was such a wonderful photo. And from some of the voters out there, I see that quite a few agree. A very unique and satisfying take on the challenge. Well done.
