I found this bird lying dead center of a grave...after a nice long rain. Makes you wonder.

Interesting shot...though I feel it would be much better without the border, it just doesn't work for me with this shot. 7

I know you're proolly getting alot of nasty comments (people don't like to look at dead animals) But I think the composition is great, the colours are awesome... I like this alot.

Sad but poignant.

Almost looks like a fossil in the making. It even matches the positions you see bird fossils in. Can't say I am very excited about dead birds, but this one is capture about as well as can be done and seems to fit the challenge.

And the title just makes it that much more appetizing. Bonus marks for originality!

that is gross

I think, maybe you did this on purpose to annoy the faint of heart? (; Doesn't bother me! Good composition, clarity of focus.

Ouch. Good composition. Nice light.

I don't see the science in posting a picture of a dead bird...
10/15/2003 11:51:53 PM
Don't care for the subject but it's a good technical picture and solid in category. 8

Poor thing. Journalistic looking shot. I think the focus is a little soft on the bird but it's okay.

gruesome but very nice shot

I suppose you try to show the dark side of science.

Oh man the roadkill warriors are going to eviscerate you for this! Some members have weak stomachs for this kind of subject. While I might debate your allegation that acid rain is to blame, it is a very good photo - an 8 by me.

This is actually.... a more presentable, clean, startling view of death (roadkill?). It's absolutely striking. This is excellent and sad, and its exact enough to view with a purely scientific eye. This unfortunately probably won\\\'t score high overall because it\\\'s not a postcard photo, but be assured that you\\\'ve done very well to capture a very difficult subject. You *should* score in the top, even if you don\\\'t.

wow, very powerful photo. the composition is pretty good, though it could be shifted any number of ways and look a little more 'natural'
