Hi all. Caught this cutie the other day. I'm really interested in camouflage, and I love the way this bird blends in. Thanks in advance for your comments!
Canon 50D ISO 400 1/1250 sec f/7.1
EF70-200mm f/2.8L + 1.4x TE @ 280mm
Converted from 15MP RAW in DPP then PS work
Hi Kerry - love th eyellow patches on the bird - looks like he has rubbed against the branches and got it all over himself(not the case of course)
Nice HA and eye contact.
I think I would try to crop out the vertical branch RHS - Looks a tad soft to me.
Sure like the bird and pose Also a real nice bg !! The perch is a bit overpowering Would try coning out some of it and tighten the image just a little more. For these little guys is the luck of the draw as far as perches. Quality is not bad at all with the crop, might look into a 400 5.6 !!! Sweet lens !!
Kerry - nice image: nice position of the bird, smooth bg, sharp. The yellow of the bird echoed in the perch is a marvelous bonus. Well done.
The perch seems like a distraction. I agree with getting rid of all the branches except the main one. I wish that big stub of a branch wasn't there. Oh well.
Very nice
Gail
nice repost gus!! love the perch with the yellow lichens on it!! works perfectly with the bird. gus' repost really simplified the composition and it doesnt look nearly as cluttered now. keep em coming, kerry!!
I like the composition Kerry..you have sharp details and nice color rendition, The perch is a bit on the busy side...I like what Uncle Gus did on the repost...:cool:
