Balcony Birds

I just love the blocks of color - the deep red, the gray, the black - and the textures of the surroundings. It's a geometrical abstract with the whimsy of the birds tossed in. I doubt that you can recover any more detail on the birds - if you could, I would sure look for other crops (as suggested by kasaba and play with this some more.

Not sure I've figured it out yet - but as always it's fun to try and I feel compelled to do so :)

I had the same thought - indeed it wasn't until I read Ann's comment that I realized the white wasn't around his eyes. And it took a moment for the fish to register - I first thought beak and then how on earth LOL Intriguing from the get-go, even better once I had it all sorted out.

I don't know how I missed this one either, Harvey. It's quite lovely - especially with that golden background to set off his sharp black and white coloring. Nice capture.

Lovely - I like the past-its-prime but still beautiful look to this. The rose heads are particularly nice.
