We had the briefest of snow flurries the other day, so I got an hour or so to get a couple in for this months theme. This is a mistle thrush about to devour some berries.
I added a touch of canvas to the right as the tail was almost touching the edge of the frame, otherwise full frame.
I agree the IQ is brilliant. You've captured everything one could ask for. Soft light, snow perch with beautiful red berries, and super BG. Great looking bird, perfect sharpness.
Mike that's a beautiful shot of a shy bird ,that nice BG picks up just a hint of red to complement the berries,the iq of the bird is spot on and so natural.You have got to be very pleased with this I know I would be.
Mike - spot on lovely shot excellent colours/exposure.
When adding canvas I would have been tempted to add a little more all round- content aware fill often though not always works well.
A great setting for Christmas greeting cards! Sharp and well exposed, and the BG looks good (but could use a bit of NR). Good call adding canvas, but I feel taking a step or two back, if possible, would have been even better. Bummer the berries are blocked, but there is enough red to add tons of interest.
