No liquid allowed, Abstract in Purple and Greens

Comment by olddj:
Tis actually a bit older than most carnival, it is a blown molded piece of art glass, with NO sharp corners on it at ALL, so focus is a bit soft, on purpose, but it is not really blurry or oof much at all. Matters not, I knew when I entered it that many may think it oof, was my choice, and although I wish score was higher, it is not going to bother me too much. Thanks for the comments, and the encouragement, both are very welcomed!

Wow, I'm shocked to see this down here. Heck, I gave it an 8. I had no problem with your amount of focus, particularly given that it's abstract. My guess was carnival glass. Love the colors.

Very nice rendition and great subject. Bumping up.

Great design, nice colors, but not in focus. Perhaps intentional, but since it looks out of focus, it isn't very effective.

I know I look it, but I am NOT sad!

I think this needed to be a little sharper to increase the impact.

ME? REALLY? You want to photograph ME?

Thanks for the comments, they are always appreciated. I tend to agree with philup about this one, I still think it is an excellent photo, but understood going in that a tree stork is NOT a beautiful, colorful bird and that would damper the votes to a certain extent. This is a young tree stork btw, and I really did see that title in this photo, the instant I looked at it on a puter! LOL The storks are fairly rare now, and I find that too bad, because I DO see beauty in them, and even intelligence in their eyes.
