Brand new Bluebirds - added a new edit

10 years 11 months ago - 10 years 11 months ago #278843 by garyrhook
Not really trying to take a great photo, just seeing if I could capture these new bluebirds (less than 1 week old) in their makeshift home. This is actually a donation box at the local renaissance faire; mama and daddy would leave during shows, then come back and remove dollar bills from the nest. They would fly off with them and drop them somewhere :rofl: The staff learned to clean out that box right after the show was over.

Absolutely wonderful. I really like the man-made lock being blurred against. the triumphant babies. There is a story just waiting to be written with this shot as the inspiration. The moral of the story: Mother Nature wins.

It was brought to my attention today that I may have completely missed the mark on this one. Here's a re-crop of the photo, with a title. Is this an improvement, or no?

Oh, my gosh...I love the second crop! The image & story should make front page! What sort of person could pass this box without donating to such adorable, begging babies! :lol:

What you are is so loud, I can't hear a word you say!

The first image wasn't bad at all, but you have definitely "fixed" it. Fantastic!
