 There was potentially too much to choose from for this challenge and this photo I took by chance. I liked it so decided to use it ! I was actually going to use this for the bokeh challenge, and now, feel I made the wrong choice ! Based on the early Alfred Hitchcock film "The Birds ". I think in the film all sorts of birds were attacking humans. NICE ! This is an emu and give them a chance, they'd give you a good peck !! I have a feeling though this may not be creative enough for this challenge. Please, I welcome all comments !

You cant get more detail than that. It seems a bit overexposed to me, but still a great shot with a fitting title.

One of God's more unfortunate looking birds, but a nice capture none the less.

"Birds" is plural as in multiple birds. This is a shot of just one bird. Composition is nice but the highlights look pretty well blown out.

That's not a very pretty bird but the photo is good

That is the ugliest bird I've ever seen. But the photo is great :) I like the depth of focus and the incredible detail you've captured, even if it is basically hideous. If a flock of those things came after me it would certainly be a nightmare...*shiver*
