This is my first post ever from a ship in the South Atlantic! We are currently sailing out of the Falkland Islands towards South Georgia.
Here is an offering from yesterday at West Point Island, West Falklands, of a Long-tailed Meadowlark, locally known as the Military Starling. I was lucky in that the male posed in front of a large Gorse bush in full spring bloom, hence the yellow BG.
Not much done other than a crop and sharpen. I'm processing on my laptop on board ship. Hope the colours look OK to you as I am having the standard shift that occurs when Saving for Web and Devices. This one is slightly less saturated than the original. Comments please!
