1st place
Feathers by twinkel

solita17: Sweet and lovely simplicity, Els. It isn't that easy to get feathers focused so sharply. Good one!

Ramad: Good entry Els. Good luck in the contest.

sharonva: I for one will be very disappointed if you do not enter this in the contest. It has a quality not seen all that much...the clean and clear lines (pins?) of each feather are...well...clean and clear. The feathery, fuzzy parts are softly feathery and fuzzy. (Sorry for my lack of imagination on my adjectives)! This is very good and should do well in the contest.

2nd place
Wings of the seagull by elektronist

Ramad: Excellent shot Tanju showing clear details of the wings spread out. The background makes it even more attractive.

Eubeen: A lovely looking photo, Tanju. Good sharp details in the gull and lovely colours in the water. It could use some noise reduction to smooth out the noise in the background. Best of luck in the contest.

LynEve: Congratulations on your contest placement.
Well deserved with this beautiful image.

quaffapint: Thanks very much for the comments!

As far as the noise, you're right, I didn't notice it before. I think it got introduced in the HDR processing. I used Zoner Photo Studio to clean up the noise a bit, you can see the result here...
