for sure FAVORITE =)
good luck

its very nice but im not sure if you are alowed to edit that much on a photograph for a photgraphy contest here

Nice SIMPLE invert job, author. I'm pretty sure this invert would fall under "Color adjustments/shifting, so I wouldn't worry too much. It's a very effective photo, giving the smoke an almost sensual look. Well done!

Fantastic shot! good luck!

very nice crvs

Really nice, it's a shame you cut off the bottom of bird's foot and the landing perch.

Very nice catch, good composition.

its nice entry... but i think you should improve its Highlight part by playing with Levels in Photoshop to make your Back ground White

@6tann: I tried before, and it blew out the detail of the bird, that's why I leave the background a bit grey while the details of the bird are retained as it's the main focus of this photo

okay... thats the fact behind it.... no prob good luck

Thanks for your valuable input, I really appreciate it

very nice pic!

That does it!

Fantastic shot, nice contrast, light and composition, good luck!
