Photographed from car using BLUBB.
This is another image that I recently dug up from my May 2008 visit to Burns, OR.
This is an example of the more attractive posts which were few and far between. Unfortunately, this one was much further from the road, hence the large crop.
I tried even tighter crops but kept coming back to this one.
A beautiful bird, pose, perch and background. It would look good vertical but I like the more traditional view. Nice to see someone visiting one of my favorite places.
Yes to a much nicer perch and a fine image with some fine detail lost. You need to replant the perch closer to the road.
