Hi ManYee
Seems like 'little' big brother is watching really close with that amazing yellow-and-blue eye. I am sure there are far better ways to post a photo of your self on to TN, without breaking any rules, than this clear miniature reflection in the eye (chuckle). Just help me out though, I am missing the meaning of the "spit and vinegar" comment. Maybe it's just a saying that I'm not familiar with.
I like the tight crop of this in your face composition, the colours are rich and natural, the details are just a little soft, but the exposure is great and it shows excellent contrast.
Well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Cette photo est d'autant plus intéressante qu'elle comporte une très belle histoire. Ce grand-frère a véritablement une allure de protecteur.
Et de plus, cette photo contient une multitude de détails que nous ne pourrions pas sans doute apprécier à l'oeil nu. Merci de cette belle leçon d'anatomie aviaire.

Hi Manyee

A lovely close shot, but maybe a bit too close as most of it is lacking focus. Anyway, it is still a great capture. Thanks.

Hi Manyee,
wonderful close up, great compositions with the lines of feathers providing a perfect natural frame. The beak is a bit soft, so I tried a workshop to selectively sharpen, let me know what you think. As is, a wonderful capture.
Regards,
Gabi
P.S. Out of smileys for today, shall smile later!
