like your center of focus.

ah dang it, I was going to do the peacock thing

Nice job.

realy work

Just beautiful..

The work is very intricate.

I would say that no one is opening that lock until Spring! Great shot!

nice drops

A possible alternative title could have been "For The Birds" . Good luck!

Looks like a mandala to me...nice organic looking one, too...GL author!

It is a beautiful pattern, but its squareness seems to be at odds with the contest's explanation that "[t]he meaning of mandala comes from Sanskrit meaning 'circle.'" The center form does have a circular feel, but ultimately it's not round. Nevertheless, there is a strong four-gate aspect that Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandala ) identifies as integral to the basic form. So bottom line, I think this could be the cool center of a true mandala.

Beautiful pattern. Very successful creation.

Very Very cool! best of luck to you!

Very calming effect.

love it when nothing is working right, and you get a good shot,...Karma i figure! very cool!

Beautiful..

Nice and different point of view!

The contrast between the neutral background and the birds makes the shot even more remarkable

there's something that makes me think of Hitchcock in this shot....

Hahaha, I agree :]...nice catch

Thanks I do know that, but figured most people on the site wouldn't know a Queenslander for the rest of the Australians.

Friiskiwi - it is actually Queenslanders fave beer and called XXXX because Qld can't spell beer ..... this was my first thought for the image too but not being from Qld, I noticed that there weren't 4 X's ;P

I love it and birch is my favorite tree. It's very clear.

Good one, Friiskiwi. But I think it might be the reflection of a railroad crossing sign through a wet windshield?

Well the Australians favourite beer is XXXX, called so, because they can't spell beer, so I guess this must be the beer glass of someone who is extra challenged.

Cool effect - makes it look like a drawing

Is it a street light, like for a rail crossing as seen through a car window?

AWESOME!!!!!!

Congrats!!
