Wonderful work, Nicky. Congratulations. And I have learned that "evar" is not a misspelling -- it means "within the last 10 minutes" or, most emphatically, NOW.

What a gorgeous bird. You certainly did him justice. Very yanko-esque processing which suits this very well.

  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/08/2012 12:17:36 AM
Oh. Dang.

I've just been severely shamed.

You, with school to occupy your main stuff, have just totally "schooled me" in every FS challenge I've entered.

*sigh*

I'm VERY excited for you! Go! Go! GO!

Well done!

03/08/2012 12:16:38 AM
You're out of control!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/08/2012 12:14:35 AM
wow, you are on fire!! you're inspiring for a (almost) 15 year old, thats for sure! Amazing photo, one of my highest rated. Can't believe you just score 4 PB's in a row! Guess your next challenge will be a blue ribbon?? Nice work Nicky

EDIT: That should be "inspiring especially since you're a 15 year old", because you're inspiring regardless of age, but that's just an extra kicker. You have a bright future ahead of you

Beautiful. This is not necessarily thought of as a beautiful creature, but you managed to bring it out. The detail is perfect. The sepia tone is a nice touch. 10
