    I like the idea and setting but would prefer if the bird were looking at you.

    I have to echo Axel's comments, the setting is great and well presented, but we need the bird facing you, for a more intimate and meaningful image :)

    Waiting for that special Squirrel image ;)

    I agree....it's the overall look that pleases me. As nice as super sharp close-ups are, I think showing the environment has merit, in that, it connects us to a sort of primal feeling that is in all of us. So this type of shot really does not belong here...except for the mere presence of the bird.

    Waiting for that special Squirrel image;)
    I edited the one I posted in "Wildlife"...take a look...I think it came out well.

    Harry gets upset with me if I do too many of them....so...I have to be careful!:D
