I was enjoying the late afternoon sun in my snugly tree cavity as I always do when I'm sort of like a cat...sort of asleep but always with one eye ever so slightly cracked open so I can stay on top of things...even though I'm pretty much sleeping.
The man with the big looking glass tube was across the street, keeping me company as he does once in a while. He never bothers me and I find him comical......he talks to me softly and once in a while whistles a tune that sounds like a really sick owl. I wonder what it is he's trying to talk to me about? Anyway, he looks rather strange with the fake plant stuff glued to his looking glass tube.
I was so comfortable and now I hear the neighborhood kids coming and they have their **** dog with them. I really don't like dogs. Something inside me just doesn't trust them!

Hard to tell, which is better, story or image. I like them both a lot. It amazing how different they look when they perk up a bit. I like the framing effect of the trees, raised ear tuffs, the rather aggravated expression. Wish the light had been more from your back.
Might be tempted to do the very slightest lightening of the left eye.
Stunning image in all counts! Light, colours, detail, sharpness, DOF, composition - simply superb! Not having the bird looking at you is actually a benefit in here as you can clearly see it looks at something.
It was looking at the dog that came by and was wishing it wasn't a pug, but rather a Chiwowa so it could both get red of the thing that bothered it and also have an easy meal for the evening :)
