I came across this guy while we were walking on a certain street in downtown San Antonio in Texas. The first thing that immediately came to my mind is a bit of a humor. I thought "Hey, dude you're eating your cousin!" biggrin.png Just joking but actually that's what I thought about the scene and processed it that way. tongue.png Thanks for viewing.

    Great job spotting this one. Looks like that guy eats whatever he finds (cousins included). One nit, I think I'd like it better with the strip of gravel across the top cropped out.

    Thanks, John. I will try your suggestion later. That is a good suggestion. Thanks! thumb.gif

    I keep coming back to this photo. In a way, I find it to be very haunting....I'm not sure why. It strikes some chord deep within me that I find to be very primal in nature. Very evocative picture, Jiro. A real winner.thumb.gif

    PS Losing the gravel strip is a good idea.
    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Oh my goodness this is too funny... but the photo is well taken, processed and itself tells THE story! I can see this in a newspaper! :D Oh...by the way...I call these things 'sky rats'!

    Thanks, Tom. I did not know that you are very deep person, my friend. Thanks for sharing something about you. I am working on the gravel strip, it has to go. thumb.gif

    Well, I've learned something new today, Eia. Sky rats, that's true and unique. :D Thanks for viewing and giving a comment. thumb.gif

    "It does taste like chicken!" Funny shot. Perhaps a little overprocessed as the bird doesn't quite look like a bird if I examine it closely.

    Thanks for the comment, Rainbow. As a background to my work, I processed the background and the leftover bone but not the pigeon. I merely gave it a slight contrast to bring it as my main element. Hope this helps. :D

    This is great! I love the processing, too. I have a parrot that loves to eat chicken and I always feel a funny giving it to him.

    Cheers, Jiro. That was the idea. The original pic was a fountain. mwink.gif
