Top O'the Morning

[Paul Lagasi]

Another local rarity here in Ottawa, a Western Meadowlark has made an appearance for the last few days. I wanted to highlite the vibrant yellow olor and even though the bird was badly backlite, I used a +1 exposure and managed a decent image.

I used Topaz Spicify and then Detail to bring out the yellow..

Working this week, so not many opportunities to post but lots of time to comment......

Wow...everyone is getting better and better, Offices, Giraffes, Loons, Plovers, Blurs, Diving Birds, Bees, Landscapes and even artistic Worms...this has been a very good week by all .... WAY TO GO OOTB

Hey Paul, love the filtering! The colorful background really makes the meadowlark's yellow coloration pop in this comp. Very nice work as always!

Hi Paul,
I really like this one. The comp, pose, colors and your use of filters is fantastic.

Fabulous colors!!!! Wonderful pose. I can almost hear it sing. Great image. It should be included in this week's theme.

Paul, I love the intense background colors...and I like the detail you brought back to the Meadowlark after applying the filter in Topaz. You nailed this one.
