22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Hi!
I think small birds have many insecurities when they are in front of species larger than themselves. The bird that I took a picture with was especially small, so I believe that he or she had a lot of fear when I took a picture. Firstly, I tried to take a picture of him or her, He or She was not facing my direction. However, as time went by, he or she turned to me, and I felt that he or she said “Hi!” to me! Of course, nobody knows how he or she felt towards a camera by me, but I was so happy, because when I took this picture, I felt that a familiar face spoke to me for the first time at last!
