this is a great shot, those folks who voted 1 got this shot mixed up with another less worthy pic. my vote wouldve been 8-9.

Very sharp! You might want to try a different white balance or darken the right wings a bit more (and not crop it, too, oh and then there's the glare). 7 Rob the Swash

Impressive shot! Nice composition too. The (slightly overexposed) glare on the wings is a bit distracting though.

The right side is a little blown out. Nice subject and surroundings however.

I guess I was a bit colorblind on this one.

I didn't adjust the color balance at all, just the intensity. Turning it more yellow would have certainly helped in the challenge.

The white dot is a star. The dark thing to the bottom left is a house top. It was taken at night after a snowstorm and as the clouds were breaking up.

It just goes to show how colorblind I am. Sure looked yellow to me, and the light! Wow! The Light!

Wow! Talk about light! Stunning. What's that white dot above the tree?
