don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime."

Fantastic shot. Given Syd Barret's recent death, there's more poignance in the use of the Floyd quote.

Just came across this shot. I think it is fantastic, and the ridiculous score is just another testament to the poor tastes of an average DPC voter. Unlike one of the previous commenters I especially like how the bird blends in with the dirt, kind of "dissolving" in it...

Sorry but a bit too monotone for my taste, the dead birt completely blends in with the backround and it´s hard to make out, no one part of this photo that stands out also and that is hurting it in my opinion. Not a bad shot though at all, got a 5 from me.

I am unsure of how this meets the challenge... maybe because "The End" is unexpected? This is a very dramatic shot... I like it. However, I would have gone with black and white instead of the green tint. It would be nice if the bird was emphasized a bit more... although I like the blending of textures.
