I did not expect to have a killdeer covered in frost the other morning. This is just before the sun came over the horizon. I know I could have ps'd the background but I decided to leave it.

Taylor,
I'm glad you left the BG the way it is. If you had cloned the dark areas out it wouldn't look like snow. It really helps your scene out. What a crisp clean shot of the Killdeer. Way to go.
God bless,
Chris

Very nice, Taylor. I definitely haven't seen a frosted bird before! Lovely pose with the head turn , eye contact and leg posture.
