Truly good monotone conversions are difficult and this is a good example of how it can positively impact an image. In this instance a technical success isn't quite the artistic success it should be. While a good candid look at an everyday moment, the subject is short of having some sort of pop or wow factor that provides the image with some impact - it's just a candid moment. While photographers can't always be in the right place at the right time with the right camera and the right lens, a little more inventive crop at the bottom would have increased the image's presentation and helped give t a sense of wow. A good solid entry into the challenge.

A tough entry for lighting which is very subtle in this photo and will not be well-understood by the voters. To get a blur photo not just of one bird but TWO that look this good is amazingly difficult and you did a terrific job. While it doesn't hit the challenge topic right between the eyes (thus your score), this photo is FABULOUS in and of itself! Very well done!

A result of the final battle in which some of The Ents sacrificed themselves in the "Return of The King". A good concept and sound image the grain is very effective.
