Stupid birds..... If you like this one then check out the timely observational edit Gerald created residing in Pending :) I think it's great! Paul

Haven't participated in a while but this picture made me smile. That deadpan look with one eye is just terrific as are the colors and the framing - excellent!

For some odd reason that I can't explain I'm feeling a little cramped right about now. Like I've been working in tight spaces..... Paul

I like your dramatic posture here ... My wife would envy your wife :-)

I like that translation Olaf, I'm gonna use that one for a while. Pål! Who knew!

Creative self-portrait Pål! (that is Swedish and Norwegian for Paul - in Swedish it could also be Påvel and in Danish it would be Poul).

Paul, this shows how correction of lens distorsion can convert what was just a funny snapshot into a great image. -Gerald

Only my hair dresser knows for sure.... Pablo (What hair?)

Very well done. If you set this up -- congratulations on a good vision. If you "found" it, even better, as you had your camera and a good eye.
Anyway, I really like it.

Both of you are nuts, their ain't nuttin crooked or cocked with that image.
I am wondering if both of you were snacking on that turnip? (how embarrassing, a turnip!) Pablo

Love it....but yes also, a little pull in Skew or Distort on either the top or bottom corners would help. Traveller
