Dang; missed this during voting and I would have voted it high. The vulnerable baby birds are staying together and clinging tightly to a branch in a very scary, dark new world. Some of them will be out eating worms on the lawn in no time, while others will be some cat's lunch. Great image.
I thought this was a wonderful shot and infinitely more deserving of a higher placing than my own. I know you're used to scoring well but don't be afraid of getting lower marks every now and again if you really appreciate what you're doing yourself. For every voter that didn't 'get' this, there are others like me who think this is your amongst your best work.
I love the tones and detail although I do not quite understand why you went with a brown to black and white transition. I love the bokeh birdie in the background too.
I can't tell if this is suppose to be B&W or Sepia? The bottom is B&W and the top feels more Sepia. I would have rather had it one way or the other IMHO. -BB
Excellent - so much atmosphere. The photo tells a story. Your BW tones are outstanding, as well as the composition. Good to see a different kind of bird shot - or I should say bird photo.
very nice, i like the bw sepia colour that you choose here, it makes the picture look more harsh and more edge of your seat waiting for the bird to fly. you captured this well, with his little down feathers peeking up. well done 9
