Default Crazy Bird

Photographers Comments
This crazy bird actually posed for me, holding this position for as long as I needed him to. I just thought it was so delightful.

Really like this silhouette, sharp, amusing and wonderful colour behind.
I don't know what happened to the sun, I guess thats sensor blooming? I'm sure you have enough info there to fix it with a few spare minutes.

Cute Brian, I can just visualize us all following along behind with one leg up, while basking in the sun.
Thanks Merv, I appreciate your comments. I didn't know what it was with the sun. Now you've given it a name that at least makes sense. Actually I hadn't thought about fixing it, but definately could. Will play around with it and see what I can do.

Great shot Debbie, like the colour and the crazy dancing bird.

Hi Debbie, Great shot. At first I thoght it might look better if you croped off the sun. I held a piece of paper over my monitor to see what it would look like and found out that I like it the way it is. The strange shape just seems to fit in with the amusing pose. The silhouette is spot on. A once in a life time capture. Well done. Art

Thanks so much Paul and Art.
Art, I've done the same thing with my hand over the sun, but found the sun adds to the shot because it shows what the bird is focusing on and gives him a reason to hold up his leg, almost in appreciation or worship. I don't know how I got the misshaped sun. Glad you like it!
