I just realized what a doof I am.. Was thinking about the Man from Snowy River, and thought it was Peak so named this Beak thinking how cleaver I was to play on that... OMG RIVER not Peak... I am such a dweezel!

I am so pleased with the votes and comments made thus far! Literally a LAST min edit and entry. I cropped and uped the contrast, sharpened and submitted.

I HATED this photo, mainly because the origional was so cool and composed BADLY.. If you can see there is a female cardnial doing a mirror image of the male in the background, I could NOT get this to come any where near the rule of thirds.. sigh so cropped her out.

Actually, it's a very clever pun on the movie, the more so for NOT being more exact. Cool shot. Congrats on top-10!

Great winter scene. I like how it appears as tho the cardinal is about to have a conversation with the leaves.

What a sweet little guy. I might've adjusted levels/curves to enrich the tones, but that's just me.

I LOVE it when they're all puffed out like that. Lovely image, although it seems a bit washed out to me.
