great

wonderful set up and lovely shot, well done

Bird of Paradise, one of my favourites. I've just planted one. Nice shot.

wonderful flowers, we have them growing here, in Egypt. I didn't know the name of it. Thank you, and GL

nice catch but... animal love is subject?

Very grainy and poor quality but a lovely setup ...

Techhnically it is a love of sorts as far as cats love to catch and eat birds. However the love is generally not mutual. Nice composition.

Attcked the bird please... Wahhhhaah! Nice shot author : D.

Not sure this is love as much as aggression or hunger

different entry choice for sagittarius...well done. good focus and clarity

Nice capture.

great contrast

It's a quacker of a shot.

Cute.

A picture of birds does not constitute a hobby. If anything you are photographing birds and that is against the contest rules.

Bird watching is different to bird photography, this is a photo that I took whilst bird watching. Fair enough this picture may not fit what you would prefer the rules to be as you have stated above, but unless the rules are changed I believe my picture above and taking into account the fact that bird watching is a hobby of mine (and is an example in the rules) plus the rules stating the picture may include animals, I believe it does fit within the rules.

Love photographing birds too

Bird watching is indeed a hobby and one I also enjoy. As the name suggests it's more about watching than shooting, photos or otherwise. This entry represents the author's hobby of bird watching and is therefore well on theme. Nice shot too!
