Black-capped Chickadee

[Paul Lagasi]

This was another image from Algonquin Park. Its amazing how most of us take these common little birds for granted. They'll feed out of your hand, chase you around parks and around here they'll land on your lens waiting for food.

This little Chickadee was waiting for his turn at the feeder. Used a little Topaz Clean on the image and cropped.

Hope the colors and tones ok, I'm working from my laptop, screen and colors not the best.

Saw my first Robin today, spring must be close...

Paul, I like the softness and the pale almost B&W look to the BG. Nice and subtle yet effective way to separate a busy BG. Well done. These chickadees are one of my favorites.

Great image AND story, Paul. Nice BG and detailed branch. Can't wait for warmer weather!

Lovely image, Paul. Soft and pretty.

The little carolina chickadees here are very friendly as well. And quite demanding when the feeder is empty

Hi Paul, lovely image. Like the filtering too. very nice! RW Blackbirds have arrived here in full force and most of the snow has melted away. Yippie!

Beautiful composition, Paul. Love the pose and the soft effect here. Nicely done.

Paul, I wish they were that common where I live! I have to go to the mountains to find them and they are pretty elusive. I really like the little bit of clean, it does exactly what they intended for it to do. What a cute little fluff ball. Nice avian macro.
