Default I swear...the fish was this BIG!

Another shot of a bird....this one was taken at Half Moon Bay.....
I tried having my wife walk towards the bird to get it to fly right at me but it decided to go 90 and split the difference.....
Still got it pretty good. I haven't altered it at all except the sizing I might play around with this one in photoshop.

xxpinballxx,

You've got this titling thing pinned down, excellent interpretation of "body language." It also looks like an aircraft with "reverse flaps;" well done and clever.

One of the best "Title/Photo" combinations I have seen on DPS. Becasue of the large number of contributors, I will sometimes be drawn to look at a photo because of the title used in the posting. Great photo as well!

Nice feel to it, good tones. I did chuckle when I saw it with the caption, reminds me of a Disney movie or something with talking birds from Brooklyn.

having been somewhat of a writer/poet since grade school it seems to come quite easy for me to make up something clever if the picture warrants the time....
I wish I had gotten this shot with at least one other bird laying around there or even better a couple just sitting looking at him.....

i also love the body language, as jiminy put it. i think the orange beak looks a little strange, but i'm guessing it came that way very cool picture.
