Meadow Pipit from a trip to the beach today. Got a few singing but this one was inspired by Lance Peters. Using the OOF foreground and foliage to peek through at the bird.
Like it a lot Stu Great feel to this image Might increase the contrast on the bird just a tad and would take some from left/bottom !!! Could also take the two twigs merging with beak !!! Excellent !!!
Hi Stuart - You've got the idea!!
Can be lots of fun and something I particularly look for - can be difficult to get one that works well - but when it does - It really does!!
Like this a lot - the OOF elements work well to frame the bird - agree with the suggestion of a little contrast on the bird. Head is angled just a fraction away from you - just that little bit more head turn - Picky I know.
This is a very pleasing image and I love the colours. I would be interested to see what playing around with the contrast and WB could achieve. Will try myself in PS.
Hi Stuart, repost is looking good and very much in the right direction. The grass clean up looks good around the beak. Not much more to add so wait and see if anyone else gives further comment. I am not sure if I want to see the bird pop from the image a little more by using adjusting curves.
