my faith weighs of feathers
my heart beats on a wishbone
my life is a syllable repeated
this bird looks to me like a monk fully committed to his monastic life, fully immersed, to the point of forgetting that it is a sacrifice, that he is a sacrifice.
With CS3 (a trial copy ugh) I used the nifty black and white feature, fudged with the dials until I got the look I wanted, tinted it to sepia (still in the same feature!). Then it's just slight crop, resize, USM.

My favorite part was seeing the other bird in the background. It's like we are seeing a scene where the one in the foreground has been hurt and is walking away from the other. And the one in the background just watches and wonders. I'm sure it's just me, but these are the kinds of things I look for in animal pictures.
This, quite simply, to me is devastatingly good. It's two older women in a small town, wrapped in their everyday shawls, peering out into the street from the doorway of their very simple home.
looks almost like a widow-turkey in waiting for a turkey whos not coming home,i like this but the other bird behind the main subject distracts my eye-6
