OMG Deb - this is yours! I got the biggest kick out of this photo - just love it to pieces. I figured it wouldn't score well, because really interesting photos rarely do. But you sure had my 9 for this gem. Just a few days ago I was driving down the road thinking about this very photo and it made me laugh again. I'm going to fav it.

This had to be yours. It makes me laugh. I love the composition and the b&w, and the way the bird seems to be marching along with the crowd.

Damn I wrote something and then DPC ate it. Let's see if I can remember what I wrote.

I do like this better in black and white. The moment you captured is quite interesting. I'm fascinated by the fact that he is smoking a pipe! It's such a peaceful scene and it makes me wonder if he got to enjoy life this way at home too. What a contrast to compare this moment to what he might actually face during the rest of his day.

Hi, I'm your neighbor, #133. Just stopped by to say hi.
A sharp, closer view, maybe angled a little more, may have been better. You could ask the bird to stop and pose, but they never listen.

Huh?

Comment by macrothing:
Again the nice coloring with the unusual effect from the dof, I think you were a bit hard on yourself with your own comment (but I like it nonetheless) - hasn't got the edge over the other outtake:



but this one does 'pop' more.

I gave your entry a 7 - I liked the perspective (bird's world) and the humor was good too.

Comment by macrothing:
I really like this. Colors are very nice - and different, as is the angle and that good dof. 4?, no - I would have given this at least a 7.

Deb, maybe you didn't get top marks, but look at the number of 10's and faves for this. I love the fact that you entered this knowing how it would score and that it would appeal very much to a certain group of people (I'm one of the fans, by the way). Very cool.

Very nice. Having a person in the image gives it so much more character. What he's actually doing is lost in the motion blur, but that helps to focus the viewer to think about it.

Love the DOF and the cobblestone lines. Very well composed - and I like the details in the feathers
