I first thought that I saw this bird before, still running like a busy mother hen, impossible to be captured in one shot. A clip of a flip book which create the illusion of animation when flipped rapidly. I like the sepia tone as if in the frantic movement of the bird the dust got into our eyes.

Books have titles, poems have titles, even music needs a certain connotation or a name. Paintings and photographs can stand anonymously if so decided by the artist. I like titles in general - sometimes they become a distant voice of the artist to introduce his work or to play a trick on the viewer and annoy with another riddle. Sometimes they can be misleading as I thought in this case. The title "Glitch" took me on a too common reality. For me this image was an AHA moment. A fraction of a second when looking indifferently from a speedy train, a lost idea, a clue of an unsolved mystery appeared clear in the mind and the eyes saved the moment. Saved as a slide for further reference.

Cannot pretend that I did not guess the photographer even if we are presented here often with birds of all kinds. I am always amazed of what it takes to get a shot like this, all steps that are foreign to me or, let's say would be excruciating hard if not impossible for me: be in the right spot, carry heavy equipment, wait quietly rain or shine, take endless shots....after which there is the magic of processing, not too little, not too much. And then one is faced with the stern competition of the National Geographic. I like a lot the nod to Herr Rorschach. An idea would have been to turn the image vertically as in Breaking the Mirror. I much appreciate it anyway

When I stumbled upon this I rapidly whispered to the photographer: make it in B&W, sharpen, think Magritte...or Man Ray. Title it in quotation marks The Eternally Obvious

I seldom disagree with Ken, but the fence makes a more real scene and we become spectators to the implied "action"
