He made a friend. Of course, it would help if he had crackers in his pocket. Love the tones in this pic.

Thank you Dan. I was headed back to my room at the Miramar when I saw him sitting there and I asked if he'd mind a quick snap. Love that little motel right on the beach. I haven't checked yet to see if it weathered the storms.

I am viewing this on a calibrated 30" monitor and the "WoW" factor is off the charts! The colors pop, the connection of the human to a creature with out fear or care!...Heh just dropin' in!

And you reflected in the frame?

Makes me want to go out and buy back a D3

I still have the Nikon 35-105 f3.5-4.5 that I used here. Wonderful old, little lens.

Well, I'd say this is just a great image. Colorful and a neat story that needs no explanation.

Obviously it also has you in it.

So many strong qualities about this image: the magical colors, the close and comfortable relationship between man and bird, the geometric patterns within the image, the undressed, vacation vibe. Deserving of a frame and placement on your wall.
