Shot on a cloudy morning a few days ago. A flock of mixed cedars and bohemians are flying around our city. You just have to wait in one place and wait for them to come. SOmetimes it is hard to get just 1 bird in the frame.
Very nice feeding pose and head angle. The bird looks a tad oversharpened on my monitor. There have been flocks with hundreds of bohemian waxwings around here, too.
Thanks for the commentsAxel. I don't see the bird as being oversharpened - maybe it is just my eyes, however, being used to oversharpened images. I know there are so many around.
Jim and Manos, I knew the mask would be black. I used active d-lighting set to high. I selected the mask in PS and used levels on it. I did not do anything with the inside of the mouth.
Manos, did you mena those areas for noise or just hink I should be done noise reduction on the sky and some areas of the bird?
