A cutie-pie.

This is absolutely amazing - a brilliant shot. It works on several levels, from compositional to emotional.

Very good comp and the conversion seems spot on.

Great shot, the poor thing looks like its asking where his mommy is.

What an amazing shot this is, Endika. The metallic spoon is perfectly rendered and the bird's expression is priceless. I just hope it's not an everyday part of your lunch!

Oh Endika, what a darling little bird and your wife is an angel to take care of him. Look at that little face looking up to you and dependant on you now for its life. Please take a lot of photos of him/her I want to see more!! E-mail them to me if you like.

Thank you for your suggestion, Miro. I've adjusted a bit the framing, but keeping the bird close to the edge in order to produce the illusion that it is speaking with somebody out of the frame. endika

Endika, this is a lowly shot and rear, have to say. Funny you choice was B&W version. I hope it is only a conversion. Hang it on the wall. Only one thing, More space in front of the birdie will add to composition and balance, but i presume this is not cropped picture.
