Another from yesterday morning. This is on one of our native oaks and they’re pretty messy so there was a fair amount of cloning to get rid of straggly twigs.
I was having difficulty with the composition on this one. Any input would be appreciated.
Any pertinent technical details:
7DII, Sigma 150-600 C @ 600 mm, hand held, f/8, 1/1000, iso 800, manual exposure. Processed in LR & PS CC. Cropped to an 8.6 MP 6x7 vertical. Taken at 9:45 am yesterday.
You may only download this image to demonstrate post-processing techniques.
Very nice Dennis, the light and Bg are nice, the dangling leave add perch interest.
I see a couple minor cloning artifacts, easy to fix.
We don’t get these in my urban area, I envy you.
Thanks, Dan. Don’t know how I missed those. I’ll have to go back and clean them up. We do get quite a few different species on our little piece of prairie, but we do miss some of the woodland birds.
I think you did a good job on the comp. I like the perch pointing to the right corner and position of the bird. Nice and sharp with great bg. Y’all have good eyes. I didn’t notice the cloning artifacts.
