Rose-ringed Parakeet eating apple

Don't underestimate the strength these parakeets have. This one jumped on my shoulder and kept biting an iron button on the shoulder pad of my coat. That iron is deformed now and the button no longer fits.

Hey Ferdy, if you had put it a little more to the right you would have covered an amazing lot of the 'gouden snede', those curves are perfect, almost bizarrely so:) Posted 10 years ago

  Thanks. Agreed, the composition is a bit too tight on this one. Posted 10 years ago

It that true? A good design! A few weeks ago I saw the pages of the man/woman who designed your graphs, showing the logo and hierarchy images created for you. Now With this golden rule applied I begin to understand why your site is so attractive, it's the subconscious trigger;) Posted 10 years ago

  Ah Jeff Miracula. Yes, he's an amazing artist who did great work for the site. Unfortunately he is too busy nowadays, so I'm going to need to hire another illustrator.
