About This Image

I liked these images for the addition of fall colors. Wish the nuthatch’s beak wasn’t behind a branch, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.

Any thoughts appreciated

Autumn has officially arrived! Yay!

Lovely little birds nicely photographed in wonderful light.

I wonder if you could use ‘content aware fill’ to remove the twig in Nuthatch image. Even with the twig, the bird looks nice and sharp and a glint in the eye.

The Chickadee is nicely done too, but you might want to tone down that bright spot on the uppermost leaf.

Happy Autumn, sir!

Thanks, Preston. I did attempt this, but the result was not natural looking in terms of the beak.

That thought did occur to me, Allen but I felt it was worth an attempt. Nice try, though.
