One more of your super bird photos, wounderfully sharp.

Excellent Work, Well Done !

Excellent my dear Miguel!

Bravo, Biliana

Tu trabajo es impecable. Esta es una imagen excelente.

Top rating for this outstanding image. Absolutely perfect!

I really question this image. In particular the birds left foot. It is clearly not wrapped around the wire but ahead of it. This would be ok but the birds stance suggests this is not so...theres also a bunch of webby junk surrounding this on blow up and actually both legs LOOK, not saying they are...transplanted onto the bird...The legs look too straight and foreign to the bird and just something about them..is this just me thinking this?...sorry if i'm wrong...but

NIce detail in the feathers and wonderful composition. The soft colors of the backround are terrific. The legs do look a little strange, so stickish. But since I have no idea what this guy looks like in person, I can't really be the judge. Love that beak!

I think that is an illusion of the feet not actually being on the wire myself, but they really are. Seems like too much work to try and place a bird on a wire just because. Anyway, I really like this image, irregardless of how it was done. Nice detail and tones. I just posted a bird picture with the exact same title - weird!

Thank you for your comments.

Paul this photo is NOT manipulated , is 100 % real.

n1. I would not have time or knowledge to put a bird in a wire in ps !!

n2. You are having paranoid thoughs about this photo.Take a break and Relax :)

Great composition and detail.

I think what you may be seeing near the feet and wire are perhaps spider web threads or horse hairs. Often I see clumps of hair attached to barbed wire fences where there are horses pastured.

 

Be that as it may... this is one stunning image. One to be proud of.

What a character! Nothing to change here.
