Spreading My Wings [Contest Finalists March 2012]
Uploaded: March 05, 2012 07:04:57
I took this at the Henry Doorly Zoo in the Desert Dome recently. Though it may look large, this is actually quite a small bird - don't know the name. I regret the shadow across the shoulder, but I loved the details of the wing so much I decided to keep the shot. I did apply a texture to this version.

I can't follow one of Val's brilliantly thought-out comments. So I'll just say "Me too...what Val said!" #10023468
