I really like your perspective & the use of desat is wonderful. I'm not really too sure about putting this in a Textures challenge. This actually looks too clean for me. By that I mean there is no rough textures like rust although I sure there is but by desating the tracks I think you have actually hidden your rough textures. In my personal opinion I think most Dpcers in this challenge were looking for not so smoother content of your subject.

Regardless of my thoughts about putting this in a textures challenge, this is still a really great photograph & Im adding it to my favourites.

interesting subject, a little bright on the one side but hard not to do given the challenge.

Nice composition and dof, but I think the focus is a bit soft.

If this was a little sharper, I'd give it an 8 or 9.

I like the sdof..... good use of the rule of thrids as well.... more color in the flower would have benefited this composition I think

Colors are a bit dull on this one. Nice DOF choice.

This is almost an optical illusion because it looks like the beak is another bird. Great capture. Big bump.
