That's a great capture, Marsha. Not only unusual but a fine composition as well.

a dish im all too familiar with, so i have to ask. was crow on the menu? lol now the bird probably smells grapes from the look in the directions of the wine glasses but cant seem to figure out where they are..lol! it truly is a great picture & i agree with snapshooter. lovely ambience presented as well!

I hope this is outside!...lol...You were sure at the right place at the right time Marsha. Perfect in the B&W!!!

I've had to eat a lot of crow in my day, JenNay. Maybe this one lost a bet too.
Mine have been whine and dine. :)
Good shot.

The phrase "eat crow" comes to my mind when I see this. Very nice and unusual capture Marsha and a great entry for the B/W challenge.

This is a terrific capture and the b&w conversion really gives it gravitas. Monotone also gives it a more timeless quality and the scene could now be from any time, any where. The puzzle of the bird adds intrigue and forces the mind to create different scenarios, and that keeps the interest level high. A whimsical, off-the-cuff shot for you maybe, but now it has a life of its own that doesn't require explanation. I think that's the mark of a quality picture. It's self-contained and succeeds without words. Congratulations on having a camera at hand, and having the presence of mind to use it when it really mattered.

Beautiful composition as unusual to see a free bird inside rather than outside! Nice capture Marsha.

Intrigued that the bird was allowed into a restaurant!...It looks a posh place too!

Terrific detail with a monochrome

Guess who's coming to dinner, lol...this isn't the same bird as the other day is it?...I've seen many a sparrow get into our food courts in some of the large malls but never a bird like this...a timely and unique photo op and it looks fabulous in b/w...a fave for me and one I'm glad we'll see in the challenge.

Nice shot and beautiful composition. Lovely work, Marsha.

This is a well captured image Marsha.

Dinner For One Marsha.

Seen and captured very well. See however that you have your camera always with you, lol.

Regards, Cornelius.

Great capture Marsha,Well done.

Superb imagery my friend, what a unique, well spotted take. The only thing I can suggest is maybe to clone out the small dark spots on the left just above the chair. Tigs♥ =^..^=

I hope the bird's other three guests showed up! Great looking shot of an unusual scene.

I would guess this was a Person at one time who liked Fine Dining and was reincarnated as a Bird.

Hey, my mind works in Crazy Ways sometimes what can I say.

Good Eye for capturing this Marsha.

Very talented this as it all nice light,reflection in the glasses and beautiful sharp detail.Plus this well composed photography looks great in black and white and the bird add a lovely feel to this stunning capture .

Extremely well done Marsha - there is a story there but like a good Hitchcock movie we don't know it yet. I read Russ' comment and it contains much wisdom.

Oh Yeah!!!!

A stylish scene made bizarre by the appearance of a crow, was he waiting on tables, or dinning?

I agree , what a fine capture.

Looks like he's waiting for his guest. Marvelous shot & very keen eye plus fast reaction on your behave, way to go
