Well, now you made me think :) This image makes me wonder: birds, sitting all day and watching... and watching... They see and witness... If they could only speak... Oh, God! What would they say... Now you got me "tripping"... Good image as usual, Sharon. Your images like a nightly therapy. They are always so soft and deep(most of them), like a sleep I`d like to have at night... So let me have it :-)

Great framing of the shot. The walking man in the background is really making it very thoughtful of what you've said.

Great composition, and I have been wondering about that myself when driving past birds watching me... Cool shot

Can I borrow your eyes for a week, please Sharon! Ha ha
I just love how you see the world, how you compose images. People watching, yes for sure. The animals, all of them, sit around and take the mickey out of our shoes and hats, and the way we yawn. To them, we are the exhibits in the zoo of life.....
A fabulous image, superbly presented

I always enjoy these photos where the photographer is watching someone/thing watching. An intriguing concept.

Again a great proverb for a great pic ! Thanks, those are gifts... Love that soothing point of view of that bird, camera at his height, so many legs in his eyes when he's on Earth, so many top of heads when he's flying :)

Lovley capture I wonder what the bird is thinking !!

Cet oiseau est peut être "SDF-sans domicile fixe". Il attend une graine pour vivre. ( This bird is can be "a homeless person". He waits for a seed to live).
Good day.

They must think we're mad... coming here and there... that's great you took this picture, most of the time we don't pay attention to birds... they are here but finally we don't see them... I like the crop here, you look at the street as if you were at its level...

Wonderful proverb. Love the composition and contrast. The silhouette figures tell of the utter awareness the bird has for the human. Well seen Sharon.
24 Jan 2009 1:39pm
beautifully composed, wonderful DOF, makes me wonder, what do the birds think of us when there watching like this, maybe we dont want to know it may scare us LOL
24 Jan 2009 1:52pm
Ah yes, we're not the only ones who enjoy watching. Excellent composition. Marvelous proverb.

This bird seems to look at the man walking as if he was a stranger in his univers. Nice frame and view!
24 Jan 2009 2:07pm
A possibly ominous and rather cinematic image. Makes me smile too.
24 Jan 2009 3:21pm
Such a brilliant framing and perfect timing!! Another masterpiece!
24 Jan 2009 3:58pm
Great shot with a meaningful proverb. Another well thought out image - bravo!
