Bird On Top before sundown :)
I dunno about this birdie but it always goes on top of the guardrail post outside the Coffee Shop of Al Qasr Palace Hotel. With their wings, they have free access to some places people hardly can go, like on top of the hotel in the background. I sure would love to have wings :)

Hi Fred,
WOndeful shot, in spite of the unfavourable light that makes the bird look a bit darker... But, obviously, we cannot choose! 'd like to be able to take pictures of birds like yours! Marta

hello freddie,
artistically composed.Like the bg of the hotel.Are you sure the bird is not standing on someone's bald head?
bev

Colours, compo, POV, ... all beautiful.
I would give the bird a bit more light in PP.

Isn't it a famous hotel in the background ?

Greetz

Jan

Well, its really on top. TOP of the Line...This is really a great shot...

TFS,

Hi Fred,
Seeing that you use wings of a different kind to fly all over the globe, you can not complain. However, with that thought in mind this is a great picture, and I'm sure this little bird has great birds-eye views you can only dream of. So sweet dreams and thanks for sharing.

Wow - what fantastic detail on the bird! He looks like he is stood on top of his own little world!
Lovely background - you can tell exactly what building it is - but it is nicely blurred - very cool.
Excellent composition :) :) :)
