Show off!

Went for a walk with the Dads and Kids club. Went to a place with a little farm...they had this fellow. He was with three females, and so was showing off.

Had to work around some pretty serious fencing and wire to get a clear shot...think I managed it, though...

...What do you think of him?

    He sure looks "cocky" to me. He's a show-off indeed. rolleyes1.gifthumb.gifthumbthumb.gif

    Thanks. Do you mean the frame, or the "framing" as in composition?

    Either way, thanks for the commendation. :)

    Framing usually means the way a shot is composed unless specified otherwise. rolleyes1.gif I think I sounded like a geek with no sense here. rolleyes1.gif

    That's what I thought you meant, but I had some comments recently about my "frames" so thought I'd check. :)

    Thanks for the positive critique.:)

    Very impressive display the lad put on for you - well, for the ladies. I love the feather detail you captured.

    He did well, but in the end the girls were not impressed...mind you, they were probably peahens of the world and had seen it all before! :)

    Cheers. :)

    Maybe they were going for the "rough" type...the nice ones like this get left behind. ne_nau.gif

    Sometimes seems that way when you're younger. :)
    Thankfully things level up when you get older...;)

    True. As an allegedly mature person I met my husband who really is a very nice guy.

    I might just do that, for myself! I finally made an image that the wife likes!

    Thanks. :)
