Rita, don't feel like a fraud - FEEL HAPPY! This is a beautiful image and VERY worthy of a ribbon!

Elegant and graceful...congratulations on winning the yellow ribbon!
09/13/2007 10:41:31 PM
I think hihosilver is right....sell that XTi. but instead of a Nikon you should buy a 40D!

Congrats on the great photo and well deserved ribbon.
09/13/2007 10:07:40 PM
Hehehe...so when are you going to sell that Canon? And buy a NIKON!!!! A wonderful photo nonetheless and a ribbon well deserved. Congratulations!!

Wow, Thanks to everyone for the really nice comments. I feel kind of like a fraud getting this ribbon due to a disqualification of a really outstanding photo. I would like to thank my good friend Hihosilver for getting me hooked on to DPC and for taking me to my favorite place in the world to photograph birds. We always have a lot of fun scouring the earth to find locations that will meet the next challenge.

Rita CONGRATULATIONS! It is amazing that with all of your stunning photos this is only your first ribbon -- so much of your work is ribbon quality! But I am so happy this one ribboned!

This is just outstanding!

The reflection makes the image too large and keep flipping focus back and forth between reflection and actual bird. My preference would have been to see this pic cropped without the reflection (basically chop picture in half). Probably would have rated among my top pics in this challenge.

I just covered the bottom part with my hand and def would have rated among the top.
09/11/2007 11:10:38 PM
WOW! Stunning! 9 for this one.

wonderful use of bokeh...tough contender for a ribbon...a 10 from me
09/05/2007 10:59:34 PM
Wow, that is really cool! Great reflection! Is that bokeh though?
09/05/2007 08:55:08 PM
10 is the voting limit. Sorry!
09/05/2007 08:33:12 PM
Amazingly good shot - the reflection is so clear it's hard to tell which side is up!
09/05/2007 05:49:33 PM
I can agree on the title. Not so much bokeh here - but great photo.
