dark-eyed junco, slate colored
There are many varieties of juncos and in my yard i have a variety! As a ground feeder they are less likely to perch so i quickly grabbed this frame when the HA presented itself favorably. I also liked the quick stance.
DPP conversion, some LR, to PS, and this time with help I figure out which box was not checked and now have the color profile embedded. I think once PS upgraded my setting did not follow.

I like it a lot. The perch is wonderful as is the head angle. The only thing that bugs me is the big white circle upper left.

ps: did you see that I have an R5 AF guide?

Love every inch of this canvas. The perch (shape in frame and lichens), the pose and the framing overall all sweet perfection. TFS
Ann, I think you did well processing this one in terms of color and contrast.
As with a couple of others recently, the wonky branches coming out on the perches make composition a little tough - namely the far right stub in this one. When focusing from the main vertical stem to the left, it is very nice and if there were a way to isolate that and remove the right stub I think it would really be nice.
Also, it seems to have lost a decent bit of detail around the head/eye. Not sure if it's a focus point issue or just very small in frame... or just my eyes.
Anyhow, keep them coming. Really liking your perched birds this winter :-)
thank you BrianOriginally Posted by Brian Sump
i agree w you and everything you noted, that branch is beautiful but I tend to use more canvas to include the right side. I was not happy w loss of head detail AF points were smack in but the jpeg did not do justice. Small bird as well etc...
mill keep at it, been Lovin your flight shots
i have not used this rig for flight yet... looking forward to that learning curve
So kind Ann, thank you. I know you'll ace it once you stretch it's BIF legs and start getting used to it!
