Was this a serious entry for this challenge?

The technical merits of photo are w/o question. Very strong in all regards. I think I would like to try to grap the yellow underneath the eye as the trim highlight border. Maybe you tried this and it was too much, so you made the right move.

If I stretch, I imagine the conflict is survival. That's a little too profoud for the knuckleheads voting. Still rates high in my book. Good luck.

Beautiful bird. I don't blame you for entering it on the one hand, but on the other hand. On the other hand, you probably are not getting a fair shake with this photo because I can't see how this meets the challenge in any way. Nice color well framed and good catchlight.

I'm sorry but how? The image in general is gorgeous, and I would only wish that I could capture something like this, but relating back to the challenge, how?

Perfect. It's an endangered animal, right? That's the only trouble, if that's not the conflict I don't know what it is.
