1st place
Feathers by twinkel

Dunstickin: So delicate and so lovely!...

Simplicity at it's best

Best of Luck

ovar2008: Lovely image.

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

mesmerized: Congrats on your great second place win.

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.

3rd place
Just A Johnny Jump Up by chadwik05

mesmerized: Congrats on your great third place win.

LynEve: Lovely colours and I like the few clouds. Excellent entry.

Have not heard of a Johnny Jump Up before :) It looks like a tiny white violet or pansy. -

LakeMichigan: Well done. Great entry for the contest. Good Luck.

4th place
Mirrored Bliss by quaffapint

AlatarielIdril: A fine shot, indeed. I agree with purmusic -- great entry for the contest if you so choose. Tranquil. I love the updated, noiseless version. :)

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...

5th place
A Bud In The Sun by Jimbobedsel

Tedi: Excellent capture, I love this bud, although I don't know what is this. But, good luck.

trixxie17: A great entry Jim - simple composition and simple color palette and simply excellent.

TheWhisperer: This is brilliant Jim. I really like this close-up of this bud and you can almost see every little hair on it too. A great entry for the comp - good luck!
