lurking Ovenbird

[John Chardine]

I found this Ovenbird under my feeder of all places, today at Sackville, NB. I grabbed two images. I thought this one was a throw-away until I started working on it (maybe it still is?!). Ovenbirds are denizens of the dark forest so I thought the idea of this image was appropriate. A couple of very OOF branches provide the low contrast at each side of the image.

Comments welcome.

I like the idea, but part of the face is too blurry and confuses e a bit.
