spitting out the bird
Another photo from Rome. I was playing with the concept of motion on the background of the ancient and relatively static architecture. This is the fountain in front of the pantheon, and a few birds were playing in the waters. I composed this shot then waited for about 20 minutes before a bird cooperated and did this. I was therer long enough that an older tourist tried repeatedly to convince me that the other side of the fountain was prettier in broken english. I did (eventually) move to the other side of the fountain so he could take photos of the 'ugly side' standing exactly where I was perched. But, he only took less than a minute for his shot before leaving so I could continue my bird stalking.
