Mr Handsome
as it is called in Arabic, Abu Jamil, which means handsome.

saw this handsome boy perched like this from the Kitchen window, went to have the shot, but as it was on the open branches of the desert tree i knew if i came form the open end he will see me and leave so came close to him from inside the bushes.

could only take three shots as the sound of the shutter release spoked him, i was really happy as i was as close as i can get, but to my horror when i reviewed the shots found they are so blue, the white balance was set on tungsten lighting, i forgot to change from the last night indoor shots i took.

i have to say photo shop is a blessing.

Hope you like it.
