One of my top images, but I kept wondering a while about the right hand background dots.

Comment by efaulk:
Might have made a tighter crop on the bird to highlight the branches without all the clutter.

this is a bit extraordinary .. it looks like a creature . and a very interesting one at that .. the top vertical bit is the head .. and the bottom horizontal bit is its arms .. and its holding its 'hands' together .
i love all the textures and colours in this plant .. great shot btw .. :)

Very special cactus with nice colours. The second light source is hard to detect, probably only fills in the shadows? That is not a bad point, in many images the second light source makes it worse, here it does not.

Comment by streetpigeon:
What a breathtaking depth of field, turbulent clouds in the foreground and the line of a road far below, leading towards a distant panoply of mountains. Makes for a dynamic composition and sensibility; we're birds, sailing the updraft. As the road is a line, it barely converges, but rather vanishes under the weather. This seems entirely legit, unless you're a stickler for points. The tones of the land are delicately handled, difficult with such modest contrast. The clouds are well-sculpted and intense, of a sort with which Beethoven could contend. The overall blue cast brings all the elements into harmony. Powerful and richly satisfying.
Personal co-favorite of the challenge.
