p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Happy PI day


Today is 3.14.15 and interestingly also Albert Einstein's birthday.

On this special day I celebrate the eyes of my subjects, a feature that I (not eye) like to emphasize as it helps connect the viewer with the subject.

The first two images are from the Anhinga Trail in Everglades National Park. The last was taken at the Miami Zoo.

-1 great blue heron

The female ape had been saying something to the male and did not seem to stop. He walked away, lie down and did this. I cloned a few leaves that were very bright and blocking parts of his arm.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

Most wildlife images is about the eyes. It's always my focus point. I'd prefer the cormorant to be angled more in "my" direction.

Nice eyes Ron. The cormorant looked like he was wearing contacts..

Interesting observation of the the ape's behavior. Guys do the same too.

Well done Morris. The eyes are the window to the soul they say. If it's true, you captured is perfectly!
