Your subject blends too well with the lamp post. A step forward or backward would give better contrast to their silhouette and provided a much stronger composition, IMO.

Cool. I really do need to get up there sometime... I know I work on the border with the panhandle, but its just not the same...

Wow, this did worse than mine! I'm almost embarrassed to admit that, but then, there were quite a few people voting in this challenge that have no idea what depth of field is. I didn't vote on this one, but this clearly meets the challenge and is deserving of a much better score. Better luck with the voting crowd next time!

that border is not appealing whatsoever...

Hehe, yes that was mine sandy... and I was worried I gave myself away with my comment below ;-)

And for the record, I live in Vancouver...if you look at my outtake, I never left the mountains:


Like I said, as I was walking along the beach I saw this heron, and once it let me get real close, I got rather excited at having the opportunity to get a photo like this one! I have to say though...it is cold and windy on Vancouver beaches in January!

Hey - Can't you see we're talking here?

I think this is the best of your series; your title adds an extra dimension to this excellent photo that made me laugh out loud. That cardinal actually looks annoyed! Congratulations on your strong finishes.

Your entry placed extremely well, and IMO has a much stronger composition. I don't think this would have done quite so well.

I think you made the right choice with this entry. The sky is stunning.
