A wonderful find in the woods near my home, perfect for this challenge, but how perfect will be up to the voters. This is also the first entry I have submitted for a challenge as a member of a team. I am pleased to enter this image as a part of the [thumb]694548[/thumb] and as a member of Team Canada in the DPC Olympics II. This is a wonderful site to belong to. Thank you to everyone who keeps it running.

Max, I'm sorry I didn't raise this before voting began, but try pumping up the contrast some. I'm guessing some people felt it was a little too dark. You've got the solid black under the hood, so making the whole thing brighter would make it stand out more.
Personally, I think this should have finished higher. Look at the disparity between the commenters and the participants lol. GREAT capture and I love the color and composition. A great find...
