Two ladies comparing prints in a market book stall at the Dam in Amsterdam – Ducky prints indeed 🙂
Photo made with my Pentax K10D camera during the street photography workshop with Brendan de Clerk – organised by Olympus and Digifoto Pro on Sunday 13-7-2014
At the moment, I am participating in a challenge at Worth1000 to make and upload 1 picture a day.
My theme is “Shapes”, and in week one, I was focussing on “Rectangles”
I tried to approach this theme in an eclectic way, and to find an as varied as possible collection of subjects, matching the ‘rectangles’ shape.
So here is my first week’s collection (+1 extra):
For week 2, the focus will be on “Squares and rhombuses”
You can follow my daily attempts to explore these shapes on my Dutch Blog or on Flickr :SHAPES ~Steppeland

“The Victoria Crowned Pigeon, Goura victoria, is a large, bluish-grey pigeon with elegant blue lace-like crests, maroon breast and red iris. The bird may be easily recognized by the unique white tips on its crests.
It is distributed in the lowland and swamp forests of northern New Guinea and surrounding islands. Its diet consists mainly of fruits, figs, seeds and invertebrates. The female usually lays a single white egg.
Due to continuing habitat loss, being tame and easily hunted for its plumes and meat, the Victoria Crowned Pigeon is evaluated as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. ” (Source: Wikipedia)
It’s a beautiful bird indeed –
Due to the light reflection, the normally red eye turned partially purple here… amazing…
And this is the black-and-white version…
