    Hi All,
    I'm sitting in Heathrow Airport awaiting a flight to Chicago to attend my son's graduation from the University of Chicago :D:D and this picture made me laugh as I observed the many examples of human nature all around me. Hope it does the same for you!!
    Taken at Skomer Island UK two weeks ago.

    100-400 IS @400. Big crop - yes, I know it's tight, but now that you are getting to know me you understand that I like to be up close and personal with my birdies!!!

    Look forward to your critiques.
    Regards to all - really looking forward to being back in the USA!!

    Tight doesn't mean bad, IMO. Close-up can help the viewers focus on what the photographer wants to show, or let the photographer/photo editor communicate his/her message better. I think it works for you here. It's a behavior/humor type of photo. What are the birds, BTW? I like their colors.

    Oh, and how much was that dress again ? :p

    Hi Nicki,
    Lovely composition. I like the pano These two characters are a riot...:eek: I guess they are catching up on the latest gossip...:D Nicely done...I like it. By the way, you might want to reduce the noise in the background...congrats...:cool:

    Great interaction and I like the pano crop idea. I would give it a bit more room and apply noise reduction on the BG. Thanks for sharing!

    Love it Nicki !!!! Tight works very well here and adds to the intimacy. Some more room at the top would enhance and not affect the intimate look. Would back down sat in reds a bid and add black/neutral in selective color !!! Very fine image !!! Big Congrats !!!!

    .......... your bad Harold .... didn't slip past me :D:D:)
