Seagul's View of SF

Best creative interpretation of the topic:
Title: Footprints
Author: grizzlyjunk

This simplistic photo has a powerfully understated feeling of the seashore. I can just imagine the sound of the wind in my ears as the little bird flits by my bucket of ice-cold Corona.

Member's Favorite:
Title: Canadian Goose
Author: xentrik

This image recieved the most nominations by far. It makes an excellent wallpaper and balances the empty areas of water with just enough tufts of grass and other reflections: resulting in a very calming photo.

Most Honorably Mentioned:

Feathers by reddawg151reddawg151 - Our only non-photo entry, thanks for thinking outside the (film) box!

Away with the Fairies by grizzlyjunkgrizzlyjunk - I know you worked really hard for this one. The blurred colors really mirror the little bird's behavior well.

Eagle-owl by ppigeon - A wonderfully detailed photo. At 10cm distance you're lucky it didn't eat your camera for breakfast. =D
