I love the detail on the claws used to grip the treetrunk. Cool shot.

Glad to see they haven't been pushed out of EVERYWHERE by the Collared doves...

I'll say what I said on FB again- Very nice capture. This is very well done. If I had voted, it would've gotten top marks from me. Again, well done.

Like tanguera noted, it reminds me of another photo that I (think) is Nat Geo, of cows standing in the pasture. Great use of shadow, great entry.

An exceptional use of the effect. Thank you a billion times, first and foremost, for not creating a Thomas Kinkade painting. That alone deserves a ribbon, methinks. But seriously, it's a very pleasing application, it's not overdone, it fits the mood, and I love the eeriness. The Orton Effect was strongly executed, but it fit nicely and is anything but garish. Well done.
