Wicked detail and a superb background blur.

Nice bit of zoom! Seems sharper in the top corner than in the middle, but still one heck of an achievement. The moon rocks. Literally.

Excellent. The processing suits this down to the ground. Love the patterns.

One of those times where we need two photos. As beautiful as this is, I want to see her eyes, yet that shot wouldn't be the same as this one and I would miss that great peacock-feather makeup. I wanna see more post challenge :)

Nice capture. Can just about see the drivers eyes too. Of course Holden kick Ford backside, but it's great to see one of these V8 monsters on DPC anyway. ;)

Unfortunate that the bird has its face turned away, losing most of the eye.

Class. Almost made me jump when it popped up!
Could do with a little shadow recovery to bring out some detail. Being able to see the eyes would certainly add to the effect. Also, now that I've scrolled down and can't see the top of the shot I think I prefer it this way. The space at the top takes away from the impact if anything.
Great stuff.

What possesses somebody to take a photo like this?
No, scrub that ... how does somebody even see that a photo like this is there for the taking?

I will probably never create anything even remotely like this, which is sad because there is so much to look at here. It's so good I can't even say why I like it!
If I could change one thing I would shift the plant pot out of frame, the rest is perfect.
