This is a rather good photo, so how is one to vote for it?

The lighting of the feathers is enchanting, with the tail illumination doing a wonderful job of separating bird and trees. It came out fine, really!

@Jerostone & MossyB: In my opinion, I classify this image as an orphan due to "not so sharp" bird image especially with the head. In order to make it a good photo, I assume that the bird must be in focus wholly. I do appreciate your kind feedbacks and I will leave this image to the moderator to decide Thanks a lot

I too have tossed many shots like this. Right there but just does not POP for prints, but again hard to delete.
IMO the tree is ok but i do feel your pain.
Good luck Author.

I don't see any birds!

there is one outside the frame, see it?
Image tilts to the right, you might want to to keep an eye on this in your future shots. Just saying this because I myself keep forgetting that. :P
