Give me the first four words that describe your image to YOU (if you didn't know the challenge topic).

GO!

Did you list "beauty" as one of them?

Arg. I didn't either.

This is what first came to my mind:

snake

captured

tension

Comment by streetpigeon:
Though I didn't comment on the pictures in this challenge, I did cast votes and this was my clear favorite. Although this image is steeped in pain, it's swaddled in beauty. It's like a finely controlled charcoal drawing that both plummets and soars in tonation. You have to make some effort to discern the face, which then easily transmogrifies into a skull. Then there's the dagger of a pipe. The background has a cubist feel. I don't know what white object in the upper right is, but I choose to think it's an ax.

This was taken at Middlecreek Wildlife Sanctuary during the annual migration of Tundra Swans and Snow Geese. There were over 60,000 birds there the evening nikonjeb and I went over to take photos. Incredible!

very nice... the long orientation accentuates the flight.
