I gave this a 7 (earlier). I can almost smell it you've photographed it so well!

Comment by MaryO:
Very dramatic light. I think I might like this more with the bottom cropped out, or with the red bits under the rose colored green so they recede more visually. Just my 2 cents.

I loved this effect and I'm curious what "blend mode" you used.

I love this. I was your 10. Underrated, IMO.

wow, what a glorious photograph. Well done. I'm going to give this an almost blue so people can see it that way.

this is truly something that would speak to ppl's souls .. it did to mine .. the connection between the old guy and the magpie .. a wonderful moment captured .. magpies are actually one of the most intelligent creatures on the planet .. just goes to show that brain size has nothing to do with it ..
this is one of my favs in the challenge ..
i'm not voting yet .. :)
