I was walking the nature trail at Colusa NWR when I spotted this Ruby Crowned Kinglet. Several times it flashed its ruby crown at me as if daring me to take its picture. Each time I tried it nimbly popped back into the brush. This happened over and over. Finally it dove into a patch of bamboo like cover beside the stream. As I tried to focus on it I saw a sparrow silhouetted on a branch. So I took its image instead. In post processing I increased the tint and upped the contrast. I like how the resulting image came out.
God bless all,
Very nice Chris I like this alot. I have a silhouette of a bluejay against a dk blue sky- this has inspired me to work on mine, thanks! If this were mine I would take just a sliver off top to exclude the OOF blotch in L center frame. Great job on this, I really do like it.
Chris, I think you did, indeed, make some lemonade here but I think the bird gets lost in all that heavy brush. I did a recrop as a suggestion on how you might bring that bird into its rightful place as center of attention. Just another way to go...
