  • Emotional Impact and Mood: Another beautiful moment in the life of your Blue Birds. I see this one has been banded.

  • Composition: The BG is uncluttered and highlights the subject.

  • Processing: Sue, I have just one observation and that has to do with what appears to be the masking of the bird. I have marked the areas that hint at the challenge that comes with masking the subject from the background. I know, I have struggled with the problem many times. What appears to be a halo around the feathers in the tail may not be a masking issue, but I marked them.

  • Thanks for catching this moment with the insect breakfast.

You are right… when masking the background I didn’t catch that. Thanks! I need to go back and add those places…

thank you! Sue
