Its a Start, Red that is.

[Don Anderson]

I know its more than a little busy, but there is something in
the mood of this image that I like. Also its the best shot
of a red start todate for me. Darn they are tough to get a clean
shot of.
50D, 400DO F4 Is, shot at 1/640, Iso 400, F7.1 -.33 of a stop.
Remove a branch or two, burned areas, lighted areas, and of
course sharpened and cropped a bunch.

Great pic. Nice colors of the bird, and then those colours of the tree. The brown bough disturbs a little.

Don, I like this RS image because that is the true habitat! Bob

Don, I've been chasing one for a couple of weeks now, and would love to get a shot like yours. The only thing I noticed about yours is the yellow should be more orange than it is, otherwise good job.:)
