It does look like Phyllis Diller but I'm not sure Belgian's understand who that is :lol:

I think this is a cool shot!

I like how the focus is on the frayed feather fluff. :roll:

Cool shot, great detail.

LOL! This is a case where having the bird looking away from the lens works well, and even emphasizes the statement.

I like it! The light and "hair do" are cool, and looking away works for me here. Well composed and the background is neat, too.

Interesting pose and capture. Very different. I'd almost like to see down to the end of the bill in focus but I know how hard that is to do. :)

Moca,

Nice shot. You composed this very well. I agree that looking away works just fine here.

Monique, This cracks me up. It's a tad dark to me.

Monique,

The lighting works great as a spotlight on the "hair"! Amusing capture!

This bears a striking resemblence to an afghan hound I have. Great shot.
