Oh oh!...he's got a right strop on!...Ready to 'have-a-go' at someone....Go on pal...make me laff!

Canny capture Kid

He's been stalking this bird from up the street and she's thrown a bucket of cold water on him to cool him down..Good pic..R.

Looks this this youngster's into the grunge look, it's a passing phase I'm sure Jimbob. (o:

Very well done and creative scene, Jim and I agree with you, This fellow seems just coming out of the shower! lol Very nice photo!

Nice capture Jim! He certainly has ruffled feathers lol:)

Well he does look a bit bedraggled but clean!

It's very cute and very funny, wonderful photo, I love it very much.

Looks like he just made a delivery for Flipper, JimboB. Cool post.

Super shot JimBob - a one in a million.

Either that or he has been in a real scrap where there is no referee in the ring :) Nice shot JImbob!

What a cute capture, and presented so well, and I like the choice of framing, in this nice, clear and sharp capture. Tigs♥ =^..^=

Very cool picture.

Or maybe it was unwanted somewhere and had a fight? LOL Lovely shot, Jim.

Maybe somebody was trying to drown it! I hope not. Such a great shot Jim!!! Focus perfect and the colors excellent! I just feel sorry for the poor thing...hehe

Yesterday, Jim, you presented us with a beautiful waterfall posting of the zoo in Cleveland. Today's posting comes from the zoo in Toledo. Is this part of your new "The Zoos of Ohio" book that's coming out next week?

I'm known for saying what I think in my critiques. I stay away from "beautiful shot" and that sort of thing and try to explain why I think it looks good or bad to me. And since I'm the only person in the known universe that actually has an opinion of note, I'll plow ahead.

Great action shot. One of those right place at the right time shots that I'm never ready for. Excellent colors. The background is distracting as h.e. double toothpicks, but there's not much you can do about that. If I may be so bold, the only thing that seems a tad off to me is the framing. I think the feet are awfully close to the bottom of the shot. That being said, this is twice as good a shot as anything I've posted. A solid 6.5 out of 10. I would have bumped it to 7.5 if you had Mt. Everest in the background and a little more room for this crazy guy's feet at the bottom.

Oh my, he's got a bad hair day.

i really can't add more to the comments above, im not a photographer so i cant account for how hard it is to get this type of shot but objectively you have an image that evokes emotion and i like it a lot.

That looks like one unhappy bird! Lol! You caught a fun moment.

Jimbob - An interesting coiffure on this stork. I sure hope that he isn't spreading the wings as some way to impress the ladies - with that do, he won't woo any of them. Good timing on the capture. Thad

What a great shot and neat pose. I hope you tossed some of your food to him for all of his hard work trying to please you.

Too bad your name isn't Lou. Then I could call you zoo-Lou. Such a bedraggled looking excuse for a stork. Maybe he brought a bundle to a place that had a sprinkler. Definitely an amusing shot, well composed and with excellent detail.

Next time ya give a bird a bath, Jimbo. Don't put it in the washing machine. Excellent image.

It does look like you have iterupted bath time. A very good capture full of detail.

Jim
I laughed thoroughly when I saw this one! He looks like me when I get out of the shower! Where the towel? Very funny post!

Lol Jim, you shot the poor thing before it could dress well. Fine details and colours, top shot

This looks more like shredded feathers then ruffled ones Jimbob!
I like the orange beak and feet and how nicely they stand out. well I do have more to say about this fabulous photo but I just want to say I'm really fond of it.

PS. to me it looks like a high feathered fashion bird is walking the Cat Walk....smile

This is AWESOME! Absolutely perfect in every way.....Another fav. =)

This is a great shot Jim, very good sharpness and colours! Mich

Love the Porosity of the Rocks... as Well as the "distraction"!
