This is a funny Cape Bulbul having breakfast just in front of our bungalow in De Hoop Nature Reserve, South Africa.

It´s a crop of about 80% of the original image made with Canon 75-300. I don't remember the film used, probably Velvia.

Nice action shot. I like how the food is just above the deck.

Alexandre, This held up well for the crop you did. Cool looking bird with one major eyering.

I'm not sure, if you understood my cropping. I just discarded about 20 %, probably less (a slice from the right and other from the bottom).
So it wasn't a severe crop.
I never know if I should say that I left 80% of the original or if took 20%... Do you know what I mean? :roll:
This sound confusing...

Alexandre, I think it's because you refered to the crop being 80% and not the image. But, I understand what you mean now :)

Cute bird! I think it would look nice as a vertical, too (that also might eliminate the "hot spot" on the right over the fence pole). I like the open mouth.

Nice shot,

I failed to frame them over there.

Thanks for posting. I'm sure you had an excellent time over there.
