To me this is one of our most beautiful warblers. This individual was feeding in a spruce tree about eye level.
I know it sounds like a broken record, miss being in here but too much going on right now. I am off to Norway and
Svalbard in search for bird rarities and Polar Bear (with any luck). I hope everyone is enjoying the spring time be it with
flowers, birds, mammals, landscapes, whatever, get out there and take photos.
As always I used a fotosketcher oil effect. See you all soon. Ciao for now
It is a beautiful bird, and I like the fotosketcher effect, you excel with that program. There seems to be a tiny catchlight in the eye, maybe make it a little stronger?
Paul, I'm a card-carrying member of the have-binoculars-&-camera-will-travel club and know how it is! Have a great time and lots of good sightings! I like the combination of painting & sketching look you achieved with the very appropriately named "fotosketcher". I agree with Jackie about the catch light in the eye. Would be good to make that more obvious.
Paul, a fantastic piece, I love how the branch becomes part of the subject due to the use of negative space. Strong composition and excellent color. Best of luck on your journey!
