You hope we'll like it? You hope so, Cornmeister? The one Caedesian who is blind in all three eyes, is past 30 and still sleeps with his teddy (bear), thinks Van Gogh is a fast family hauling vehicle, has no taste in art whatsoever, and sleeps 26 hours a day... might just be the only one who wouldn't like it. Sorry. Just wrote the first thing that came into my mind. Other than WAAAAOOOOOOHHHHHH. But I'm sure you hear that all the time, so the soliloquy came first. Jeez, Louise, where do I start? Color, composition, focus, use of diagonals, beauty, interest of subject matter, balancing detail with open areas, the position of the bird pulling us along it's line-of-sight, framing... all of the critical elements of photography, technical and aesthetic, are fully addressed by your photo and not found wanting at all. Print, mat and frame this immediately and hang it in a spot where every guest entering your house can see it before they even get their shoes off. Oh, and if I haven't mentioned it before... WAAAAOOOOOOHHHHHH! Superb. -Nik

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

I'm not sure what I can say that the others have not? MR. C. It's a simple scene, but expertly captured, and presented by you of a subject that actually stood still long enough for this outstanding result. Tigs♥ =^..^=

Ik heb hem vergroot tot 175% (screen 1440x900) cornelius, en dan komt het bij mij mooier uit de pixels dan met de (1064x709) zoals ik het nu zie !
Vooral de snavel heeft dan niet meer die typische digitale
"zaag tandjes" die je dikwijls ziet bij rechte lijnen.
