 I'm kicking myself for not entering this one for fun, I knew I had no chance amongst those who live in Africa etc.

I've just noticed that Avg (commenters): 5.0000! That means the other two commenter̢۪s gave you a any one of these combinations 5 and a 4, 6 and a 3, 7 and 2 or 8 and a 1 (With my 6 equals an average of 5...)

I gave it a 6 btw Anita. I don't believe punishing someone for their interpretation of processing. And for me a 5 (or less) is punishment. What did the colour shot look like? Possibly a 7 in Colour where 90% of the shot would have been black or grey and just the red bill standing out. Black and white in Wildlife is used for more dramatic and emotive work.

Native of Australia. Beautiful birds. Interesting choice to go B&W. Good composition. I quite like them offset against a colourful background however and the red bill then adds to it's beauty. Whilst not endangered they are rare in the wild but commonplace around human habitation. The challenge is rather vague so no loss of points for that. In B&W I feel it could do with a bit more contrast and deeper blacks.

This is so artful and beautiful! The black on black: exquisite! I recently participated in an online animal photography workshop by Rachael McKenna. Her favorite way to shoot animals is monochrome, especially black on black, and ever since I have been a huge fan of this look. I really love this!

an interesting choice going mono - not convinced it works for me. The photo does look a little soft, and could perhaps do with more sharpening.
