...came a big chunk of a leaf, and then it stood there in black and white, not altogethere there, not altogether not there, and on-one had any idea what on earth to make of it...

Judy, I LOVE this picture. This is one of the ones that I thought would be way, way up there! I don't understand the voting sometimes -- I sure gave this one a high score. I don't think I've ever seen a picture of one of these birds close-up enough to see the blue, blue eyes -- contrasting so vividly with that yellow beak. I would be really proud to have this one in my collection!!!

Hi Judy, this is a great shot. It could be sharper. I suspect the reason for the score is that it doesn't scream "construction." Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the votes and comments. This one was a learning experience. There were some really great entries in this challenge.

Comment by Artifacts:
Good dark image where B&W works well. The tonal range is good and it has very nice sharp detail. The fine detail in the center of the leaf is its strongest feature.

The detail near the edge of the big leaf appears a bit grainy and more granular than some people may like but it is not terribly bad.

Though photographically a good image viewers will have a tough time strongly relating to it and the darkness theme. Without a strong connection they will not vote it as high as they otherwise might.
