I published a post of Lorna, my favourite Grey Crowned Crane and went back a tad to see what other unusual photographic perspectives I had of her… these appealed to me and as she is a bit of a poser I thought I’d share a few more… sure I’ve played a bit with the photos to enhance her beauty more and to make them more pleasing to me… What do you think of them… now I really must get back to the editing… although the Editor is so good I think I’ll credit her as the Author of the book as told to her by me….
Fantastic images, Rob. I love Lorna! And your interpretation of her is enchanting! WOW. That’s it, WOW! 🙂
Thank you so much… hell developing a big head now…
Fantastic poses and you’ve captured them so well! 🙂
Thanks Inga..
Lorna is quite the looker, particularly special is that first photo. 🙂
Thank you I do love Lorna,…..
Lorna is stunning and a head turner at any angle.
Thanks Mate… appreciate the comment…
She is a looker! Funny how some wildlife seem to like their photo’s taken, we have a great blue heron that poses. Fabulous images.
Thank you… I find some days the wildlife cooperates and others it just plays against me no matter what I try to shoot…
A beautiful and experienced model, if ever I saw one! Wonderful pics, Bulldog!
Thanks Adee…
She is truly beautiful Rob and you’ve captured her so well. Great shots. 😀
Thanks Sonel…
I wish I can see a similar Lorna someday.
You’ll have to come to Africa…
I was reading somewhere this morning how you can make money online selling photos to shutterstock and Flickr etc. I immediately thought of you and wondered if you’ve ever looked into this 😀
I just love Lorna – from every angle 😉
I have too many pokers in the fire .. what with the software marketing, software negotiations with a company which want to buy it, blogging and my book editing.. I have not thought of selling photos, my worry If I do that is it wont be fun taking them any more as now I click what I like and not what I think someone else will like… does that make sense??
Thank you.. Lorna is my girl…
absolutely enjoyed these–
Thank you so much…
There were times when I wanted a hairdo just like this one 😀 , but my parents would not hear of it ;). Gorgeous takes, Rob. The first one is pure perfection. How are you holding on?
I’m doing fine thanks Paula… thank you, I could see a few people wanting a hairstyle like this, you sure would stand out in a crowd…
She is indeed a star! I see a Marlena Dietrich quality! It’s the pose! 🙂
Thank you… she has that star quality that she does not show every day… but with a head like that she will always be outstanding…
I love these shots!!! I had your page up and my newly 12-year-old daughter (Emma) was completely enthralled with your photos, like her momma!!! 😉 I told her what I’ve been telling you for a long time….your photos do truly rival anything I’ve ever seen in National Geographic (she agreed btw)!! Such an exquisite eye you have sweet friend!!! 🙂
Christina you are too kind with your complements… my head is getting bigger… and please thank your daughter for me, so kind of her to agree with you…
Lorna is gorgeous – feather perfection!
Thank you Mate .. I will let her know…
<Lorna is beyond gorgeous, and so glamorous. I'm very envious of her hairdo. Can you ask her who her hairstylist is? 😀
I believe Phyllis Diller is…
😆 Of course!!
What an incredible show-off! 🙂
That she is…
These photos are amazing!!!!!
Thanks Anneli…
Poser is an understatement! Love Lorna! Now get back to work! 😆
Thank you … ok ok I’m on my way…
What a stylish creature. Can’t help being dramatic and ready for that close-up
She almost knew I was looking for something different
It looks more like fireworks right? love it.
It does that… thanks Kymeem…
Lorna is a beauty – I can see why you like taking her photo. Gorgeous pics.
Thanks Jan… she can be a good poser some days and others just won’t cooperate at all…
Great looking bird. Maybe this is where the punk hairstyle came from in the seventies.
You could be right Brian… although not sure I would of enjoyed a girlfriend with a hairstyle like that… she’d poke your eyes out when you try to snuggle…
That first photo is my favorite. Beautiful capture and stunning creature 🙂
Thanks You Ingrid…
Such a gorgeous bird, lovely captures!
Thanks Jewels…
Lorna is gorgeous!
Thanks Diana
She certainly is beautiful. And it’s awfully nice of her to pose for you.
Thanks Maralee… she was very cooperative…
Che spettacolo meraviglioso, è stupenda Lorna e lo sono anche le tue foto!!
Ciao, un salutone, Pat
Thank you Pat… nice to see you here again…
Anche se non scrivevo ti ho sempre seguito 🙂
Oh they are having a much better hair day than I am having☺
Me too… thank you..
She is adorable! Love her hairdo!
Thank you… wish I could say I did it myself…
Ha ha! I won’t ask for the name of her stylist – I don’t think it would look quite as good on me…
Nature is funny. What a beautiful, odd creature. Good luck editing.
Thank you… she doesn’t often pose like that… but when she does.!!!!
Amazing! I’ve never seen anything quite like that…..the first picture is my favorite. Such detail and expression in her eyes!
Thank you Gay… it is a beautiful bird that won’t always stand still…
She is beautiful. I will be getting Polish chickens in the springtime. I cannot wait…not as beautiful, but the are endearing!! Great post…for someone who is not supposed to be posting. tsk. tsk. 🙂
Shoosh… maybe she won’t look in and notice… went and had a quick look what those chickens look like… oooooh there could be a good photo opportunity there…
I know…I cannot wait till they arrive. I am hoping in the spring. They are wonderful pets…horrible egg layers. The rest of my flock pick on them sometimes because of their crazy hair-dos (they try and pull out their feathers). Sigh..bullying is everywhere. 🙂
Now there’s an even better photo op… hair pulling…
I love Lorna too 🙂
Thanks Sherri
Wish we had birds that spectacular! Love Linda’s comment on Phyllis Diller. I DO see the resemblance!
Me to I had forgotten about her… a web search I can see why Linda thinks of her…
Like the first one best and was wondering if you were playing hookey from your editor 🙂
Yes I am…
Amazing bird and I love the pics Bulldog.
I wish my hair would go that straight – it’s gone curly in old(er) age.
Mine hasn’t gone curly … it’s just gone…
why do I think of Phyllis Diller?
Looking on the web I can see why…
I think with the right amount of marketing, Lorna will create a new fashion sensation in hair styles.
I agree…
I love Lorna!
Me too
They are so beautiful dear Rob, amazing bird… Thank you, love, nia
Thank you Nia…
