Wow! This is not where this should have been. :( I see several people think it's great also. This will make a nice print with the excellent editing and tones.

Wow, you were robbed. And when those robbers finished robbing, some more came to rob you again. Flip :(

Anyways, just thought I'd swing by and let you know I thought this was wonderful. I too imagined the bird to be standing on a dead sunflower, giving the illusion that he is somehow miniaturised. Or perhaps the bird is alone on an alien world where plants are gigantic.

Beautiful.

What a bizarre (almost surreal) shot - it looks like the worlds smallest bird on a dead flower head !

I wouldn't have known it was a palm tree if you hadn't said so in your PM -- it looks like a sunflower. Cool catch with the one leg, but the bird itself is hidden, and the focus isn't as sharp as it could be.

Nice triangle composition with wonderful tones! I hope it does well!

I know just where you took this because he was still there when we passed by. I chickened out entering in this challenge! :)
