Personally, if you had cropped just over the water pipe, it would have had a much more dramatic impact. All I am focusing on is the pipe as it leads my eye. The people are much more interesting

Comment by GolferDDS:
I think this is a very nice scene. I would have liked it even better if you had cropped it in to eliminate the out of focus flowers and the rock on the left. The texture works well.

Comment by posthumous:
there are several visual tricks going on here. The foreshortened feathers echo the bokeh. The bird looks like it's chained by the leg. The bokeh obliterates the sense of depth and looks more like a curtain directly behind the bird,, which in turn makes the bird's perch look like a stage or a pedestal. I'm reminded of King Kong performing on Broadway. It's an absurd photo, but also absurdly entertaining.


I'm hanging this in my fantasy art gallery

I should be able to find better words, but this is ADORABLE!
It̢۪s really the prettiest and most gullible chained bird - wait, it̢۪s just fooling us and posing while enjoying the vista
Well, adorable for a 10
