Are You My Friend?

One of the birds, fresh from dining at my bird feeder, perched still while my doggie took a close sniff. You can see her nose, kind of hidden behind the white of the porch railing. (I was kind of slow on the trigger.) I was amazed that this bird stayed still, even while my pup took a sniff. Maybe it was the bitter cold?

Anyway, thanks for taking time to visit... much appreciated.

Ha, I can't believe your dog got this close!

Oh, I LOVE your processing on this! Beautiful image. Fav!

[Katrina]

The bird looks beautiful. The dogs nose is an added bonus. Fav

[Taffy]

Oh, this is good!! The way the porch railing hides all but pup's nose. They are SO close -- impressive all the way around.

[Dyan Stevens]

Really lovely tones. Love that peep of a nose coming out from the white.

[Graeme Stevens]

Great shot and processing

[Babs]

Lovely shot. I can't believe that the bird stayed put while the dog was so close.

[Jules Hoogstra-Anderson]

Fantabulous shot, with such vivid colour and textures. It's amazing those two stayed calm and close to each other...Fav!

[Pam Knowler]

Amazing the bird stayed where it was when that nose was so close! Finlay would not have been quiet he would have made a charge for the bird! He does not like birds and especially cats visiting his garden! Beautiful capture Rosie! Fav!

I can't believe the bird was not fazed by your dog. A lovely high key shot.

Super capture, composition, perspective

[Rosie Kind]

Unfortunately, this little bird may be ill but it's still a lovely capture - Fav

[Rosie Kerr]

@rosiekind I hope not... he did fly away directly, so hopefully he was just cold and thought my very tame Bichon was pretty harmless.

[Kim Harper]

Nose and tail are very close! Friends in nature, I suppose. :)

[Elizabeth]

Beautiful capture!

[Marnie]

Brilliant shot Rosie, the little hints of your dog's presence are wonderful. Sparrows are cheeky little beggars, but this takes the cake. Magic shot. Fav.

[Kim Capson]

Aawww, they are friends :)

[Jerri]

I love your composition and how the curves and squares included on his perch shot! I love that sniper of your dog's nose!

[Danette Thompson]

Love all the white.

[Irene Marshall]

Gorgeous capture and detail, love the composition.

[Graham Thresher]

Fabulous shot.

[Vera]

I like the POV on this one a lot! Very unusual for a bird shot, but so pretty.
