 I submitted this on a Thursday, thinking I had until Sunday to decide whether or not to enter it. I came back on Friday to un-submit it because I had a feeling in a challenge like this it wouldn't cut muster. Guess how I learned about the new Friday challenges. There it was already in voting.

So, actually, I'm relieved it didn't do as bad as I feared. And I do like having Friday member challenges.

Lovely interactive image between parent and chick. Enough natural environment in the crop and the chick's pose and both pleading eyes visible is arguably what gives this shot something more than the norm. Certainly a trait I think NG looks for. It does appear a bit OOF or slowish s/s caused some blur, lack of crispness, but is that cause for non-acceptance by NG? Debatable. My gut feel is they prefer sharp, but not always...
