Fabulous shot with a touch of cute and drama.
Thank you. This photo was made at an easily accessible park in the heart of Tokyo. You would certainly enjoy it 🙂
This is Beautiful! His bright orange colors brings out this pic
Really appreciate your kind words. I thought it would be a nice theme for Halloween. And I also liked the contrast of his bright orange belly with the surrounding dark environment 🙂
There is something special about this image…
The color contrasts, background sculpture, or the droplets in the air….
Thank you so much for sharing 🙂
Thank you so much for this comment! It’s always encouraging to receive feedback and I’m very happy you enjoyed this image 🙂
This would make a great book cover!
🙂
This is a wonderfully touching image, dear Takami! The harsh and the beautiful …just like we experience in life.
Thank you my friend ❤
Yes, this is what I had hoped to portray with this image.
I'm so happy you felt the same way 🙂
What a magnificent image, Takami. I absolutely love this one.
Thank you, dear Jolandi! ❤
It means a lot to me!! 🙂
Possibly my favorite Halloween image ever. Only you would find such a winning composition that is both endearing and mysterious for this time of year.
Thank you Atreyee!
I’m thrilled you enjoyed it. I wanted to show our friend the Kingfisher in a different light 🙂
Best,
Takami
Wonderful! 🙂
Thank you!! 🙂
Too poised and too beautiful to be scary. 😊
Perhaps from our perspective he is too cute to appear as a gargoyle 😀 But I imagine the small fish were trembling in fear in the pond below… 😢
Very good point, and one that I had missed entirely. Not very observant of me!
Not at all!!
I wanted to try something “different” and it was great fun (and frightening) trying imagine things from the perspective of the fish 😀
Very thoughtful of you! 😊 🐟
Great idea for a post and well-done. Thank You Takami.
Have a good day!
Thank you 🙂
Oh my dear, what a beautiful Halloween composition with your friend Kingfisher! Hope he is warm and happy 🙂
Thank you my friend ❤
I'm so glad you had a chance to view this image – I thought you might like the Halloween theme 😉
Our friend the Kingfisher is doing well. He is happily enjoying the wild bird life, and always become admired by photographers 😀
I am sure he is admired 🙂 I am still looking for my Kingfisher 🙂
You will certainly find him!!
Excellent composition.
Thank you. I’m glad you liked it 🙂
コメントを書いてたと思ったら書いてませんでした!!あれは夢だったのだろうか・・・(汗)
ガーゴイルって何だろうと検索したら、ホラー映画とかで出てくる、あの小悪魔みたいな像のことなんですね!!
いつもの可愛い小鳥ちゃんも、何となく迫力有る怖い鳥に見える気がします!!:D
Nasuko様 ❤
こんにちは!いつもありがとうございます(*^^*)
そうです、投稿日はたまたまハロウィンということもあって
写真も「ハロウィン風」にしてみました(笑)
Great image!! Great title!!
Thank you!! 🙂 😀
Quite a departure from your usual, but shows a different side of you 😊
Thank you my friend! ❤
I wanted to try something "different" for this Halloween 😉 I hope you enjoyed ~ 😀
Yes I did, thank you😊
❤
Well, this is certainly different. COOL! Another Kingfisher. Lucky you! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I wanted to do something a little different for Halloween. Actually, this image “didn’t” require too much post-processing. Many effects were already in place via Nature: late afternoon sunlight, under a sprinkling fountain, and our friend the Kingfisher cooperated beautifully 🙂
Halloween-esque 🙂
😉 🙂
Awesome image
Thank you 🙂
That’s an adorable gargoyle. Beautiful photo!
Thank you! 😀 I thought it might be a fitting photo for Halloween 🙂
Beautiful photo!!
Thank you!! 🙂
An Imposing presence, Takami!
Thank you Carol! ❤
Boo!!
🙂 🙂
Well played, indeed.
Many thanks Peter 🙂
Halloween is becoming popular among young children in my town. Any child loves a reason to receive free candy… 😉
This is perfect! Happy Halloween!
Thank you Jill! 🙂
Halloween is becoming quite popular in my town, especially among school-aged children.
Wah-hah-hah
I receive a comment from you, I must have done something right 🙂 😀
Wishing everyone a Happy and safe Halloween.
I know I don’t comment often. I’m not very original in my comments, nor creative – and I simply don’t have enough hours in the day.
Of course there is no obligation to comment. I myself often view other sites without commenting. I’m just happy that folks make time to stop by 🙂
My thought as well. Have a terrific day!
Very good title for this post and this wonderful, creative image!
Thank you Mr. Hien!
Believe it or not, this image didn’t require too much post-processing. It was late afternoon, under a sprinkling fountain, and our friend the Kingfisher cooperated beautifully…for an interesting & lucky moment 🙂
