Looking for a higher-res version of this pic of a bird w/ babies

September 8, 2013 2:41 PM

My wife loves this picture, which I've seen on various social sites, and I'd like to get a nice hard-copy print of it matted for her birthday. Can anyone help source it? My google-fu is failing me.

It was originally up on wikicommons, but appears to have been deleted: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:23._Amor_na_natureza.jpg

Tineye shows a few other, lower resolution matches though:

Best answer: It appears to be called Under Her Wings by Ric Seet. Here's his flickr page.

On the flickr page he also says he will work out compensation for a print if you email his flickr account.

That flickr page appears to be a user named jchip8 according to http://www.freelists.org/post/pov/Great-photo-by-anonymous-photographer,5. The claim is that he posted someone else's work.

I am Ric Seet and the person who took this pic. Unfortunately someone downloaded this pic from my Flickr Account without my permission and change the name from Ric Seet to Rik Seet. See below:

www.flickr.com/photos/ricseet/5548571649/in/set-721576055...

and plastered it all over the internet using Rik Seet instead!

Found out you have pay Pixdaus to download my pics:

The pic appears to show up with both the titles "Under Her Wings" and "Under His Wings" (although that is most definitely a male pigeon).

My first thought was that it's a Fruit Dove.
