This is a beautiful photo! ^.^ I love how you captured the bird AND the books... Like, attention is drawn to the bird and then rests on the books.
Is the bird your's? I know this is a stupid question... But I'm imagining a very exotic bird flying into your window, landing on the books, and your first thought is to take a picture.

Oh sweet! Nice, the bird is in a great position as if it's reading the titles, beautiful.
I took a shot resembling this, except there was a pocket watch on top of the books.

Is that bird actually alive?
With the title, it's almost like the bird is studying, finding out how to live with humans!

thank you .....at first i wasnt too sure if i was happy with the composition
idealy a wanted to have it shot horizontally instead of vertically
but in order to get the titles of the books (which was the ideal behind the shot itself) i had to zoom out farther and thus loose the close up of the bird
...i may submit another one of these out takes in a horizontal position in my scraps later on 
but anyway z...thanx alot for the nice comment 
glad ya enjoyed it

initially i wanted to have the composition horizontally ...but in order to get the titles and bird in shot......it all appeared to small 
so i oped for this ...and well ..the bird posed for me perfectly ..then shortly after this...flew off to another destination
so i lucked out !

Great shot! How did you get the bird to stay there long enough? I love your use of lighting, the shadows look amazing. There are some good books in there, too. But yeah, the black background is nice. Everything in the photo is so bold and well defined. Awesome awesome job. You should be very proud of the way it came out.
Great job.
