Photo of the month

This is one of my favourites from while I was in Abu Dhabi. I haven’t done any digital processing to the image – the effect was achieved by taking this photo through the dirty window of a pet shop with a strong yellow light behind me from a streetlamp.
This poor bird was kept in a petshop near the old port, and I thought it was such a sad sight to see this magnificent creature trapped in this squalid setting.
Photo taken with my Nikon D40 and kit lens, set to ISO 1,000 for a grainy effect in the low light.
