Beautiful picture but I am not sure if it matches the challenge. To be fair I wont vote, but it is a brilliant picture.

Very nice scene, but push the contrast a bit further.

Comment by Teafran:
The problem with these kind of images is that sometimes the "little" issues become "major" issues even at first glance. The birds in this image look like pixel "dead spots" in particularly located where they are in the ray of light. Additionally, the sky, while dramatic, could have used a little more processing to bring out the rays of light and form a more dramatic impression on the viewer. Given these two issues, it does have a sense of depth and dimension, it just fails to deal with them effectively. A little more exposure time and some post processing would have improved the image significantly.

Great placement of the flower with the interesting pattern of the stems. Only thing I can think of to improve this is maybe a different bg choice. I like how that little bud interacts with the shape of the flowers petal.
