This most likely will not be my entry... So I will just share... been sick the last couple of days and am having withdrawls since not being able to get out and start shooting something for this challenge. This evening I checked out the window to find a beautiful sunset ... so grabbed my camera... but so many obstructions... then there was this bird on the antenna with the sunset background... Ah!! Something to shoot!!!

    It has a nice soft feel about it, and is that a dove? :)

    I actually really like this shot! I would cut out he bush on the left. It doesn't really add to the angle feel the rest of the image shows. Beyond that I really like this!

    Yes, Jenn... it's a dove... we have a family of them that nest in the tree just outside of my apartment. Thanks Jeromy... I thought about cropping the tree out, but then I'd lose the end of the antenna, and I wasn't actually thinking of entering this in the end. But... then again... if I don't get better soon I might have to. Laughing.gif

    ... that it's a nice shot and that a left side crop would strengthen it. It has a peaceful aura to it.

    OK... so you all seem to like it... so I made some edits... would this fit the theme well enough? You know... I'm big on sticking to theme. I'm still going to try and get some shots this weekend... but just in case.

    That crop really put the focus on the angles and color. Great shot.

    Sometimes, it is better to be kind than to be right. We do not need an intelligent mind that speaks, but a patient heart that listens. Unknown
