Ostrich (twist your head 90 degrees to the right to see the real image)

Gallery: Photo ArtPosted March 18, 20082,080 views10 comments

Years ago, I discovered that if you take an image of a reflection in water and turn it 90 degrees, you could make a face. It takes time to find these unique and natural images. There is no PhotoShop ivolved, it is all natural, but it seems wierd. May be that is the main reason the photos do not appeal to too many people.

Here, I decided to post this image and hear your honest opinion. I have tens of those reflections, will probably add some more in the future.

Nkkormat EL, 55 mm Micro Nikkor, Agfa negative, tripod, Rila Mountains, Bulgaria. More than seven years ago.

Thanks for taking the time to add a coment on this one!

Warm regards

Ouch, got a pain in the neck now

Very neat and good spotting this one from the image. The eyes have it for sure. Its got the hair on the forehead, its got the mouth, its an Ostrich alright.

All the best and yep, very clever for a nature shot. EXCELLENT !!

Danny.
