Learning to fly

[Charles Daigle]

While out on a walk to the "neighborhood" downed aircraft, I discovered a snow bunting nest. This particular bunting popped out compared to the others because of the great variation of colors. The irony here is that the bird was actually on the wing edge. Yeah, lame I know.

The 'perch' might not be ideal but we don't get to see young Snow Buntings every day. Soft light, BG and eye contact look very good. I would crop a bit off the top and run NR on the BG.

What a precious fuzzball! It was a good find, hope you can get many more. Great whites and head angle, catch light and eye contact. Hope you can get a better perch next time :)

Sweet little bird - I have not seen one of these before, so thank you! I love the HA and the look-back :)

Sweet bird Charles! Great background and nice light, sharpness and head angle. The perch will have to do.

Thank you very much for commenting and the critique. I will run some NR on the background and re-post when done.
