My experience is there is a posting black hole after 10pm that images vanish into if posted then. You probably fell victim to that (weird thing is it's 10:28 as I type and I just uploaded a new image post :shock: )

So far as the pics - the bird shot doesn't grab me - ugly bird - strange posture and the image is both a touch bright and lacking in colour to give it some ooomph (sorry). The fireworks shot though is an absolute corker and the name you've given it is perfect.

Thank you stubbsy for your comments, but there is a time difference between USA and Australia, that's why my post shows that late.
I'll find a better looking bird next time :-)
Just for curiosity, here a pic of a bird with teeth! never thought that would be possible.......

Interesting birdy - one I'd stay away from. To have teeth it must have a diet that requires it. Wonder what it eats.

Marcos, you seem to have found 2 of the ugliest birds in existence!
I agree that the first bird image is lacking in colour or "punch". Perhaps a tighter crop too. I love the "tentacles" on the second image.

Those are the only bird that I could find on the small man made lake around my house, they're all geese.

I've been given the title of ugliest birds seeker, here is another one,
ugly but cool looking, the first "punk bird", sorry but someone has to shoot the ugly ones, at least for curiosity :-)
