Hi Desmond - you have chopped his middle toe off :( Some more room at the bottom for my tastes.
Head / Eyes are tack sharp - love the straight down the barrel look and the action. The OOF branch in the foreground doesnt bother me too much. Like where you were heading :)
Great idea Desmond Interested to see the suggestions !!! .... btw love the look on his face :)
Hi Desmond,
I like the capture...agree with Mr. Peters on the cut toe, I also feel that he is a bit tight in frame, especially around the tail area...looking forward to your next one...:cool:
I also love the look on its face. :)
Judging by the comments so far, looks like it's not that bad. :D:D Just a bit tight and, of course, the biggie is: "Where did that toe go? " :o:o
I thought it was far worse. Or because some of you are too shy? :)
... my suggestion would have been to hit the delete key but I was waiting for everyone else ... the face is priceless but can't think of what to do with everything else :)

Actually, the merge of the beak with the seed pod that is still attached to the plant bugs me more than the o-o-f whatever it is. It it were mine, the clipped toe would earn this one a spot in the trash bin.

Wow! That's a great idea !! Have to admit I have never thought of that :o Could also be like a banner at the top of a web-page, too, I think. :)
Thanks for the suggestion, Artie !
With 1.5 terabyte external hard drives going for $130, I would not delete the image! I remember spending $20 for a 250mb Zip disc. Besides, consider it a snapshot of what you were doing that day. Also, when you see the image again, you will be reminded of what you did wrong. I need reminders like that occasionally. You ever hear the expression "nobody is completely useless, they can always serve as a bad example"? I say no image is completely useless....
