This is the first placed picture in my top 10 simply because it was unique. It's not entirely on brief (and few entries were), but it caught my eye and I wonder if it was taken this way or it's cropped. Either way, I think the photographer has a great sense of composition. The little bit of colour provided by the cables is just perfect. I have nothing bad to say about this and I'm happy to see a different answer to a rather common theme. Well done!

Have you ever taken a picture of a bird and it was too dark, too blurry, too somehow that's not exactly like all the famous pin sharp, full view pictures you always see? Well, now's your chance to let your pictures shine, no matter how imperfect. I'd like to see your pictures of birds, but only their silhouettes. Have fun shooting!

I am very happy with the use of grayscale in this picture. Knowing when colour is too much is a very good skill to have. It almost looks like these are bird hybrids, yet they look surprisingly delicate. I appreciate a good crop (regardless of the rule of thirds) and I'm happy to see that there's not too much detail drowning the birds. Well done!
