| Just saw this. Timing, exposure, processing, definition and we can even see pelican's expression of concentration, or so I interpret. Totally raises the bar. |

| I read most of the comments, and I'm surprised that no one has picked up on the fact you can't see the bill, I voted a ten, and just sead I thought it would be at the top, but I thought there would be some comments about the bill, bay be the initial wow factor takes over, and the nit piking goes out the window, I think it deserves to win, it's a great shot, well done. |

| Oh my gosh! I'm so excited this photo won the blue! And even more excited because I finally have enough money to get the camera I've been wanting--which happens to be the same camera that took this stunning image! Now I'm even more excited to get the 350D. Congrats, Owen. Like I said in my comment during the challenge, this photo has National Geographic written all over it. Woo Hoo! |
