Chickadee

[Kaushik Balakumar]

Weather conditions have been overcast & cloudy over past few weeks. Managed to make an image on one such a day when skies opened up a little bit...

I really like the pose,colors and bg,maybe a bit more sharpening for my taste

Hi Kaushik,

Love the set up and clean BG. The bird looks soft in my monitor.

[Gus Cobos]

Very nice composition and backgroung colors are nice, but must agree with the rest on a little bit of sharpening...:D


Gus...:cool:

Nit mentioned, he looks like a proud little bird in that pose. Great colors.

That ain't no chickadee!
It is a Blue Tit (Parus caeruleus) and a great image.
