1st place
Feathers by twinkel

LakeMichigan: Congratulations on winning the Simplicity 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

LynEve: Congratulations Tanju on your deserved placement with this fine image

Nikoneer: I agree... an excellent entry. The bokeh puts all the emphasis on the gull and the face is tack-sharp, allowing the slight blur of the wings to express motion. Best of luck, Tanju.

Mirrored Bliss by quaffapint

LakeMichigan: Congratulations on your placing in the Simplicity contest.

nuke88: whoooow love this, just my style, i love this one!!

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...
