Animals and humans, they both have a need to rest..

Fire scares me, so this image makes me uneasy, which is a sign it is a powerful image, and more realistic than my fear will tolerate. Well captured.

Quaint and appealing images from a time gone by. Not sure that men (or women) read anymore, we scroll instead. Both are intriguing and full of detail. The fellow in the first one looks like he got his reading material from the crate in the foreground of the second one. The fellow in the second one is either working a crossword or perhaps marking a racing form. Nice to see your work from the "old days".

He is so much more charming than the original Jabba. He is too charming to be a villain though his expression might be considered mischievous. He's the most human frog I've ever seen. Nice portrait.

I love his placement on the perch, and how he blends in with the colors of the landscape there, almost becoming a part of it. I do hate shooting through plexiglass screens and am sure you do too, but you've handled the issues very well here, and caught your lovely subject in great detail. I don't know that the right third of the photo is adding much; I might crop it into portrait format to focus more on the critter himself.

This is a curious image to me, since I'm not accustomed to seeing people other than the homeless laid out in parks, and these people look much more prosperous than the ones I've seen. I would have suspected a scene being filmed for a disaster film. It's well taken and evocative for sure.

Waterbirds look so pensive when they stare out over the water, as if they are thinking, very hard (and they are, I guess, thinking very hard about FISH). I think your bird may be a great blue heron instead of an egret. Looked at from a distance, he looks fine..but: The photo, if looked at closely, has some artifacts and blur that your images usually don't have, so I'm wondering if the settings may have been a little off or he moved slightly. I photograph these birds regularly and have about a 5% keeper rate so I'm familiar with these problems. If this is nearby, look for him again with a faster shutter and more light on him. These birds return to the same fishing spot over and over so once you spot one, you're likely to find him again. (He might be a Her, though since the males and females are almost indistinguishable unless you get to know the individual birds well enough, it's kind of like identifying identical twins.).

Thank you kindly Minniev for taking time to comment. Unfortunately this capture was taken with smartphone and my operational options are rather nonexistent. Will carry my regular cam more often...even though phone is always with you.
