Nifty Piks - Photos and Art

Today’s featured art is Baby Chickens by Shawn Ingram: Pristine Photo

Aw! How cute! These baby chicks look like they are off to a good start. I can imagine their little peeps and cheeps. Photos like this really capture the wonder of nature and animals, it’s constantly changing and growing.

You can find beauty and entertainment just by looking and observing nature. These little chicks are part of the beauty of nature, starting out with baby animals and seeing them growing up into bigger critters.

What a great shot of a Chilean Flamingo at the Bronx Zoo. I love the water and flowering bushes. Vincent O’Hare has done a nice job on his photos from the Bronx Zoo, they are great for the greeting cards offered at Cool Card Shop.

Today’s featured art is Duck in Pond by Leslie Nazarian: Lesruba Designs

This Duck looks like it’s asking… ‘What are you looking at?’ It has it’s head turned sideways and is looking right at the camera.

This is a great photo of a duck standing on a rock with ripples of water behind it. The composition with the ducks pose, patterned feathers and watter ripples all combine to make a memorable picture.

I can easily imagine this as a great conversation starter on a wall amongst other wildlife photos and art.

Today’s featured art is Joy by Mark Kryzaniak: From God’s Hands

What a beautiful bird with his bright red head, green, and blue feathers. This macaw (or parrot) is looking at you in this great photo. The red stripes under his eye and red head really draw your eye to his eye looking at you.

I think this would be a great poster or print to hang in any room.

Today’s featured art is Steel Hummingbird by Jonathan Todd

Wow! An amazing capture of this humming bird! I dream of taking photos like this with a beautiful bird and pretty flowers.

The photographer says:

Shot at 1/4000 of a second with a Nikon D2Xs this hummingbird became a “statue” anchored by her beak in the flower. One of my favorite images to share.
