    Interesting image. Are you absolutely sure that the bird was dead? I have never seen or heard of a bird buying the farm with its head held high... Like the rain drops and and the houses in the BKGR. Wish that the tops of the tree were included. Lastly, the horizon needs to be leveled a bit.

    I like the perspective on this one. If you hadn't mentioned that the bird was dead, there is no way I would have ever known. Not bad quality given the Nokia mobile phone, either.
