Juvenile Spotted Towhee

[Aidan Briggs]

Not the sharpest picture, but it is the only image I've ever seen of a juvie spotted towhee.

Used a couple QM's and some borrowed canvas to add to the bottom.

I like the angle, open beak, perch and BG. Maybe you can sharpen it more in general and the face a little less.

[Lorant Voros]

You can try to play with this for sure to get the best result. I really like the perch, BG.

[Aidan Briggs]

Thanks for the comments Axel, and Lorant. I used a contrast mask on the face in the tiff and it looks pretty good. The feather detail is there, it's just not as sharply defined.

I do think its worth keeping though.

Hey Aidan, love the pose with the legs spread, and open beak. Cool looking perch too. Well captured.
