The sleeping beauty

[Meint Sijp]

This weekend i was out doing some disc golfing in my home town, and on the field close to a big lake this bird was lying totally still. It turned out it was dead and not having my kamera :( I had to turn to my new mobile nokia 6600 fold. 2 megapix.
hope you like it i would have loved to take some prober photos but .....

Interesting image. Are you absolutely sure that the bird was dead? I have never seen or heard of a bird buying the farm with its head held high... Like the rain drops and and the houses in the BKGR. Wish that the tops of the tree were included. Lastly, the horizon needs to be leveled a bit.

Hi Meint, Thanks for certifying the death! Amazing.

I like the perspective on this one. If you hadn't mentioned that the bird was dead, there is no way I would have ever known. Not bad quality given the Nokia mobile phone, either.
