Enthusiastic hobby photographer which didn't get an eye (yet). meaning I make postcard style pictures, so don't expect a lot of creativity or artistic viewing angles. I try show the things as they are (sometimes a little more beautiful)
Follow the "golden rule" and care about technical details, as there are for example: straight horizons, perspectivic and other distortions, noise, sharpness, close to natural color or as I have the color in mind or show the mood.
My motives are a lot: night and available light, natur, landscape, cityscape, architecture, portrait, street, macro and animal life of which is 99,9% wildlife (not a big fan of zoo and animal show pictures). nude/act only very little, as till now not a lot of chances to get many models ( have no $).
I am german, living since over 22 years in Greece. Because of my business I was till now every year for 2 Month in Thailand & Indonesia. That 's why a lot of pictures are from there.
Hope you enjoy my pictures, and I am happy with any kind of critic as i still learning to get better.

Love that angle and framing of your subject. The dramatic sky is a plus too. Very amusing result.

Cool bugs-eye view of this chick!:)

What makes this shot outstanding,compared to the one that caused all the fuss, is that this one is shot through a chicks eye, and not through the lens of a human, unlike the other work. It immediately brings you into his world and from that we see the world from a different perspective ... that is one of the major functions of art and you have done it well. I also like the p***ed off look on his face. Maybe I am anthropomorphising now but he does look like a little boy whose turf you have challenged. So good.

Excellent POV. He does look annoyed. I finally found out what all the fuss was between you and Andrew (blinkings). Its true that his picture of the chicken was just a quick snapshot but if you were teaching a class in photography and commented on his image he probably would have thanked you.
