Photograph? No way unless it's a photo of a drawing. A poor composition as well, though the drawing is first class work. I'd give it a zero as a photo, 2 as a drawing.

Every time this picture appears in the rotating images, I gawk at it. It looks more like an illustration than a photograph. Outstanding work!

The composition and cropping are extraordinary. Even the bent left wing is perfect.

I am wondering what was used to get the bokeh.

Love this shot. Indeed, it is like Japanese or Chinese drawing. I also like the expression of the two birds. You cannot help but wondering what they were looking at.

I agree with the drawing comments, looks like an illustration by John Gould. This is a wonderful photo and clearly deserved 1st place.

Great photo! It's hard enough to capture birds, but you got the perfect moment here. Wonderfully balanced and warm colors. Well deserved 1st place.
