I think I "got" Kat's Alone/What Now photo right away, which is why I disagreed with those who wished to see more face- it's dark and seeing face wouldn't add anything. The subject looking down and away adds to the emotion IMO.

Mad Aussie- as much as I love the little birdie amputee storyline, are you sure his 2nd leg isn't tucked in up under his wing or something? I think I can see something going back up from his little knee. Birds can do some crazy joint movements that would put us humans in the circus. Wicked shot at any rate- love it!
