LMAOTIRDML!!!!!! I have never seen a finer title in all the challenges! Mwahhhh! I must say, this image is SUCH a relief! Now you've got it right. :) Phew!
- Much more pleasing composition
- The red now, instead of fighting against the subject, helps draw the eye to the subjects face, yet, without overpowering it.
- The subject has sufficient room to stand
- That little stuck feather, on the edge of the platform, tickles me pleasantly.

Ahhhhh.... ~ Lonnit

I'm sorry, but I can't drag myself away... I'm still sitting here laughing to myself over what you did to the image! Too funny! ~ Lonnit

LOL! Perhaps I wasn't quite clear on that! LOL! And my questions weren't really questions - it was my thought process as I looked at the image, and all the distracting things I was thinking that was keeping me away from the bird. Now, perhaps you would care to mirror-image the bird side to side instead! LOL! :) ~ Lonnit

Lonnit, I see what you mean about flipping the image, much more fun this way ;-)

Here are a couple of clues to your questions:

I missed the crossed feet - got distracted by the background. I was trying to figure out if it was an old car, and then what the red things are - could they be red birds? Are the lighter parts beaks? What's that ridge just behind where he's standing? Is that a wooden surface with a metal edge? See, I read left to right, so I merely glanced at the bird before my eyes were whisked across the page to the bright red areas, and then all that blurry background was so interesting, I couldn't get back to the subject. Flipping the image would help, perhaps even create some energy as you fight back and fourth between the background & the bird. If the bird is on the right, I'd be drawn to it b/c I read left to right, so my eyes natually want to go right, but then I'd be attracted back to the red, b/c red will always attract the most attention in an image. The energy might help support the fun-ness of the subject, which I'm comletely overlooking right now. :) ~ Lonnit

This is very funny, Najinsky! I get cross-eyed myself looking at it and I love the feet standing on each other. Great catch! ~Sharon
