 Merlin, our budgie, admiring himself in a shiny candy bowl.

NeatImage to clean up ISO 400, and a lot of sharpening to help the shallow DOF.

very cute. I only wish the feathers on the forehead and under the beak were nto blown out. The refelction to the top right corner is a bit distracting. Overall thoguh a good shot.

A great pic of an 'ordinary' bird - really good idea, well captured, and I like budgies. 8

I have a couple of Budgies myself and don't they just love thier own reflecion. Great mirror image, well captured.

The idea is good and it's a cute bird. I like him/her coming in from the corner but feel the mirrored surface is a little too close or seemingly so due to the perspective. Additionally I think it would have looked potentially better had the mirrored surface covered all the negative space and not had any background showing in the corners.

a whole mirror would have been better than a line cutting the reflection to me.
