One of the most common birds up here, but always brings a smile when photographing them. The near wing looks especially good here. Some greenish cast on the belly could be negated via the sponge tool set to desaturate at about 8-10% flow.
Hi Joe,
Nice shot of a common bird.
What is the bright white vertical band coming up from bottom of the frame towards the LHS? I would definitely clone that out.
This would look nice in a black and white conversion!
