This little fellow landed on a fence on the edge the water boardwalk at Pismo Beach, California and proceeded to go through a wild dance back and forth across the beam - ending in this bow! It was unbelievable.

That golden glow from the sun on it's backside is for me what makes this image stand out to take a well deserved bow. Sorry I missed the rest of the show. I'll bet that was entertaining. favs. Thanks.

Excellent close up, and beautiful bird....

But words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling, like dew, upon a thought produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions think and smile. Art is everywhere, except it has to pass through a creative mind.

I sympathize with him. Not everyone is naturally graceful, especially in front of a laughing crowd. funny shot.

Don't use a big word when a diminutive one will suffice.

This was a great shot in any lighting but this lighting makes it outstanding. I think you should take a bow.

Its in my favorites and on my hard disk never to be deleted.

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important. Ruth Ross

Wow, great shot, and as tris notes, the lighting only makes it better. I'm guessing this bird was either doing or practicing a mating ritual. Lots of bird species have "dances" they go through to attract mates. On the other hand, it IS California, and maybe he was auditioning.

I don't think you could have planed this shot any better. I love the foot forward part of the bow. Wish you had caught the dance on video. :)

Nice shot well captured, must have caused some amusement to you, appears to be quite large. What is it ? I haven't a clue because I'm British.

Reminds me of a time when I saw a Kingfisher from a hide, and almost died laughing for some strange reason.

Well done,
