I took this picture first and then thought...nah, i'm not going to enter a lame humming bird pic.
need something with a little more creativity, something more challenging, so I went to a place where hang gliders land and spent the hours trying to get this shot.
Looks like i should'a went with the dang bird.
I think this place is screwing with my head. |

You did the right thing. Too many H-birds as it was. |

Entered this ==> 
Considered these...
 ,  , 
Really wanted to use one of the butterfly shots but they just weren't sharp enough. I was shooting in manual focus mode and it was tricky keeping up with these moving objects! :P |

I entered this, but got a lot of comments the background was too bright.
Would this have been any better?

| I prefer the one you submitted better. It would be even better IMHO if you turned down the saturation a bit. |

The desat one is easier on the eyes, although I don't think it would have changed my vote any. Looks like a tough shot to get. Fill flash might have helped some, if it was possible at that location? |

| Thanks for the comments. I boosted the saturation to make the bird pretty. I could have used some fill flash to naturally bring out the colors. There were many Lorikeetsin this aviary, but catching them with wings extended with a decent background is tough. |

My first comment on "Stork" was that the rock looked a little blown. I had to chuckle, and resolved to post the whole picture after the challenge was over.
Submitted: Stork (or blue heron per some of my commentors - it was shot at the zoo with no convenient sign telling me what it was...)
The original (rotate, resize, smart photo fix) was:
Feedback, as always, is appreciated. "Stork" only scored a 5.0777, and I've been struggling to get above the 5.2 area. Any suggestions?
Thought you folks might appreciate the full shot - but the challenge was wings. And of course, he had his wings fully spread shortly before I got near enough to take a shot, and then refused to do so again... ;-p |

| Don't ask me how to get out of the 5.2 area, I've been trying to figure that out for months. I personally like the original full version. The submitted one appears to be a bird in a natural setting, but the heron standing on a stork statue facing the same thing is humorous. Someone commented the original was OOF, and that was apparently due to the drastic cropping. |

The original would have scored (I'm guessing) 5.5 to 5.8 based on humor alone. :) Seriously. It's a cute photo.
As submitted, it is a little soft, and dare I say many probably dinged it for not having visible/active "wings".
Darn birds - sometimes they just won't cooperate. :P |

Okay, this is a good example......
My submission:
The image I would have rather entered:
The latter image would not pass the rules of the contest. Could not enter it in good conscience. Entered the rules legal one. So, I've never been DQ'd and I don't ever intend to step over the line. That's not self-righteousness. It's playing by the rules.

What rules would you have broken? It was Advanced Editing wasn't it?
I like both shots. Don't know that the outtake would have done much better than 6.7xx and 16th place! :P |

On the original image of the latter, the tip of the lowest tail feather was clipped off by the frame. I had to clone in a new tail tip, or suffer the derision of the voters. My opinion is this would have been adding elements not in the original image. |

Ok. Gotcha. I wouldn't have ventured there either! :) Congrats on the Top 20 finish! |
