I would have liked a better framing for this one, but it just happened to be walking beside me and I had little time to react ;)
Everyone thinks it's ugly but the more one looks at it, the more one appreciates the details and in fact, finds indeed some beauty.
Thanks for your valuable tips and/or constructive input!!

I agree there is a lot of beauty in him, I was very suprised as I've not seen this bird this close up before.
Brilliant Manuela :)

Sehr gutes Bild. Ich mag den Bereich um die Augen. Sehr schön getroffen. Auch die Farben sind enorm aufgenommen. Sehr schön. Wo kommen diese Aufnahmen her?

@Jens: Hallo Jens!
Der Aufnahme Ort steht unten den Bild. Es ist in der Nähe von Colmar.
Ich kann es nur empfehlen wenn du nicht so weit von die F/D Grenze wohnst. Von uns (Frankfurt gegend) sind ungefähr 2 Std. Es gibt unglaublich viel zu sehen da.
Danke für dein Interesse & komplimente!
--> Hoffe dass ich nicht zu viele Fehler gemacht habe, mein schrifftliches Deutsch is nicht perfekt :(

Não acho que seja feia. Todos os seres vivos têm a sua beleza.
