		| | Fantastic shot. I didn't get to all of the shots in this challenge due to lack of time but this would have received a 9 or 10.  I think this is better than the winner. |

		| | Eleventh! Aarg, so close. You deserved a star on this shot. It's marvelous. I would never have thought of using selective desat on this photo, because the peacock colors are so wonderful, I'd hate to lose any of them. But this really works. Congratulations. |
