Good evening!
I am sure there many things wrong with this shot but I am really happy with it. I've been chasing these birds for a long time and I could never get a decent shot. They are so timid and they live up in the mountains.
I was so lucky, I was driving home when I saw a few birds around some bushes. I stopped my car, got my camera and set it on a monopod inside the car. I waited a few seconds and the bird came, I took around 5 shots and viola!
The mountains are cover with snow so they have to come down to the city to look for food.
I had to clone out a leaf from his back, now it looks like its behind him. Also a long stick.
I am having a problem uploading pictures lately. The colors got bad coz I had to export the JPG file from Aperture and then imported again to make it smaller and every time quality degraded.
All comments welcome, thank you for your time.
