Mountain bluebird on fencepost.
Canon Xti, 400mmf5.6 lens

iso 400
In deference to the previous opinions about the colors of these birds, I decided to desaturate the blue on this image in photoshop elements by -35. He still came out awful blue.

Hi Dave - Nice bird once again - I like the head angle and the pose.
Lokks to be a little BG noise - easy to fix.
I think I might crop the green off the top..Hmmm maybe.

Blues look good to me, as does sharpness. A little fill flash would have helped here, and I would probably crop a little off the top. Here's a repost with a slight crop and some added brightness.
