There were twenty of them in the same tree when I arrived. I think the message was something along the lines of "Practice your chops slowcoach!"
I'm old enough to have spent my youth reading all those boys' school stories that HarryP rips off. And good childrens magic books like Susan Cooper and Ursula Le Guin. Harry's a bit cheap 'n' airporty in comparison - and perniciously anacronistic. Still, if someone offered me a place at that French school full of angelic wizardesses I might swallow my pride.
If I were a wizard, Portra would come in 5" rolls.
PS: nice trees.
Ursula LeGuin's "A Wizard of Earthsea" does a great pre-Hogwarts wizard school. What I love about ULG's Earthsea is - there are no good guy / bad guy ethical struggles. Each person has his own motivations and reasons for what they do, and even if they are antithetical to the hero's wishes, you can still understand why they are what they are.
By the way, I am a newbie LF photog who happend to find the missing Ford Anglia in the woods - take a look: Busch Pressman D 4x5, Shanghai b&w / D76 (scanned negative).
I have read the HPotter books because of my three 9 year old boys -- they are fun to read to them. When they get older (pretty soon) they can read my Ursula Le Guin books and all the Sci Fi books I have stashed away.
I do like how you composed the tree within the square -- one's eye is in constant motion within it. I took a photo of some vultures in a tree along the Costa Rican coast (4x5) -- by the time I was finished more and more were flying in. I think they thought that the black shrouded body (darkcloth over my head) was a sign of some good dead meat.

My son asked for a new portrait. It may have something to do with a new girlfriend. :)
