What a beautiful photo. The expression on the bird's face is wonderful, he seems to be wondering how the flower grew a peanut!
Love it, thank for sharing it. |

I like how you bring your set up the scene type creativity to the random world of flowers and birds.
(incidentally...is that bird registerd with the easton aviary society registry- you know, they don't want to encourage transients in Easton) |

| This is a great photo on nearly all levels, and it is a perfect example of when manipulation of a scene before and after capture is appropriate. The best thing about this photo, and its accompanying story, is that it is a fantastic example of seeing an image in your mind and then working overtime to capture it in your camera. |

| Fooled me with that silk flower - guess I was so 'taken' with the capture (set-up or not), that despite wanting more detail in the flower (and I now know why there isn't), I obviously didn't 'inspect' it very well. Creative, as usual. Nice use of a peanut. Congratulations. |

Shannon's kids: "Dad, can we go already? We've been waiting in the car for 2 hours now and it's hot."
Shannon: "Hang on kids, just a couple more. I smell another ribbon here!"

Great shot Shannon, congratulations on yet another ribbon! |

| 9 - Wow, nice capture. Will be back PC to see if this was staged. Nice and simple - just like to have seen a little more detail in the flower especially, and perhaps the bird & background colors 'lifted' - but likely near impossible with the resulting contrast issues with the white flower. Good title. Also, depending what you had to work with, perhaps a tighter crop at the bottom and more space included above the bird - but who knows, works very well as is. |
