Great setup, great photo. I love the reddish light - looks like a Martian sunset glow.

Hello from the Critique club

An appealing image that meets the challenge

What an extraordinary bird, very distinctive though your capture is technically sound it just feels rather inanimate as though the bird is stuffed and nailed to the tree. The exposure has worked well for the bird but at the expense of the tree which is significantly overexposed with some loss of detail. I'm sure you have done well to capture this bird, I don't know how rare it is, your lens suggests that you were quite close to it, but I'm sorry I can't really get excited about it, it is missing the wow factor.

Well done, thank you for your entry.

I cannot figure this out. it makes me think of the leg lamp in that classic movie, A Christmas Story." Better perhaps than some sort of jambon hung by the something until... The bondage of Christmas? And then there are those oddly place nipples. Are your intentions honourable? A bordello Christmas?

This is the most mysterious (and scary!) photo I've seen here! I don't know how much time I've spent trying to understand it... Burning red adds to the effect!
