Under the old Night Blooming Cereus

[Gus Hallgren]

Female House Finch spot lighted in the rising sun early this morning. It was perched high on the NBC under a bloom on its way out. The desert is like a Geode, rough and dirty on the outside, but full of fabulous jewels when opened :cool:

CC's warmly invited

Hi Gus This one is not working for me? Bird is in partial shadow and competes with the bloom !! You did come up with the proper exposure,sharp and good PS work !!

Hi Gus, not working for me either. The lighting contrast on the bird is too extreme along with a distracting backround....
