YOU try preening with a nose like this!
by vawendy

Comment:
lol .. your title . !! ..
of course this is a wonderful bird photo and totally satisfies the challenge .
and now that you have talked about the difficulty of preening with a beak like that i wonder how they do it too .. maybe their very long neck helps .
seeing this getting a ribbon as its brilliant .. :)

1958 Triumph TR-3A: Rustoration

this would have gone great in the personification challenge ..
personification may not be the right word ..
what is it when inanimate objects take on the appearance of a human ..

firstly I got ..
"Pareidolia is the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous stimulus, usually visual, so that one sees an object, pattern, or meaning where there is none."

then I got ..
"Definition of anthropomorphism - an interpretation of what is not human or personal in terms of human or personal characteristics : humanization Children's stories have a long tradition of anthropomorphism."

take your pick ..
it's a brilliant image btw ..
should do awesome in the challenge .. :)
