    i think if you wanted to make a political statement you should put some text inside the frame of the image. this is a perfect image for doing just that.

    and i agree. i sure hope this junk shot works soon!! i'm feeling more negative about this thing every day.

    Hi Harold, I really wanted to make an environmental statement, but I guess that is unfortunately entwined with politics. It is my way of saying that this terrible tragedy is really getting depressive. I'll definitely put some text in the image itself and repost it soon. Thanks for the idea.

    I added text in the image and went for the full quote attributed to our President as he expressed his frustration concerning this tragedy. I hope I do not offend anybody with the added word. I wish to reiterate that my sole concern at this point is for the environment, most especially all the precious birds who cannot defend against this man-made disaster.

    I just could not see the image of birds struggling, or dying. It is sad. Accident happens, but someone needs to be accountable for this.

    Hi Ricardo,
    Lovely capture, and composition. The sentiments are echoed everywhere.

    The species of birds, plants, fish, and animals affected by this will probably be tallied over years. Some lost will go unnoticed. It is both heartbreaking and frustrating.

    Here's hoping they get it plugged!
