The art of accessorizing.

I loved the feather on his beak.

Thanks everyone for all the comments and favs on my lion shots. I love standing watching them and love to share the pictures.

Just a beautiful photo! With an added feather bonus

[Trina P Holub]

Wow, this bird is lovely! Is it a duck or a goose? I thought duck, but then decided I couldn't tell by only the head. It's a great close up, and I love that little fuzzy feather

[Margaret Tryon]

@5unflow3r Trina, it's a swan.

[molizard]

I noticed I get a lot of feathers on beaks also. I usually leave them but consider editing them out. Cute duck, nice pic!

[alia_801]

Great close-up, especially with the feather decoration too. My parrots often have feathers (or the remains of their breakfast) stuck to their beaks too. They seem to think they're toys to chew and play with...

[Netkonnexion]

Exquisite capture.

[petra]

beautfiul close-up!

[cynce frantz]

that feather is just precious!!! amazing capture... think he's showing off just for you... and i think it's the lions that are spreading the word that you are an amazing photographer and that people across the globe are all taken with your amazing wildlife images. .
