This is another photo I took while I was at Park Central. There were a lot of grackles in that little park-like area I had photos of yesterday. This one was standing on a grate that covered the well around a tree. I zoomed in to catch him with that dizzying background. Since the bird was jet-black, I converted the photo to black and white. Now it looks like something out of an Alfred Hitchcock movie.
A bit more zoomed out, and it would have been perfect.
ReplyDeleteThe black and white makes that beady eye even beadier!
ReplyDeleteSuper shot, Sharon.
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
ReplyDeleteOver many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door—
Only this and nothing more.”
Excellent! It does look very Hitchcock -- "Vertigo" meets "The Birds"!
ReplyDeleteThose birds are big in a close-up.
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing photo! Spectacular!
ReplyDeleteCool shot!
