Even though this might not be the best picture ever, (it is very over exposed and the background is simply boring) the subject of the picture istself is so majestic that I felt it would make a beautiful addition to my blog. Rather than focusing on the tail feathers, which are usually the most valued part of a peacock, in this photo the focus is on the neck and head, which are made of such a dark turqoise the color is very rarely found anywhere else. It simply seemed like a subject I had no choice but to feature.
This picture plays on the same theme that my bird picture did last week, which is the bravery of wild animals when facing humans. As far as composition goes, the foreground and the subject are extremely in focus while the background is faded out not to draw attention away from the squirrel. Looking at the squirrel itself, it’s looking right into the lens of the camera. It’s so bold and unfaltering, it’s practically as if it was saying “I live here, you’re just a visitor.”
This flower, although somewhat plain in itself, reminds me so much of a ladybug that they literally seem to be “cut from the same cloth.” When it comes to digital manipulation of photography, I think it is extremely clever when people transfer the characteristics of one subject to a different one. Naturally, when I found this happening in nature, I couldn’t help but be excited. Luckily I had a camera, and I now get to observe this striking resemblance whenever I please.
