    Amazing how slender the beak is on these birds. I've never seen one in person, but the beaks look so big from the side. Like the symmetry of the bird combined with the slight asymmetry of the BG (green bush in the RLC).

    Agree with Doug, I love the symmetry. I also like the wing position and the nice soft colors on the background.

    Default Hello Fabs

    I really enjoy the kinda low contrast and ethereal quality of this image, but for once in my life......the green stuff bugs me in the corner :)
