Dark-eyed Junco

This was taken earlier this fall in my backyard where the birds come to feed at my feeders. The background is my Autumn Joy Sedum. I cloned out a bit of wing blur around the head.

Nikon D300s, ISO 200, f4.5, 1/400, HH

I have not posted a larger image because I am now using CS6 and when I saved the larger image for the web it exceeded the 500 KB file size and I can't find where to change it so that it is smaller. If someone can tell me that would be helpful.

Thanks for looking and critiques appreciated.

May

Love this shot May, what a great perky little pose and a cool background. If it's like CS5 there is a slider when you use the "save as" function where you can reduce the quality (and thereby the size of the image) when you save it. :toast:

Sweet pose on this little juno! Love the BG too.
Seems a bit over-sharpoened from here.
I have CS6 but I'm afraid to install and use it.. too much to learn and way too little time. eek.

Great alert pose on this little guy May :cool: Nice mossy perch and great background. I don't have CS6 yet either, sorry.

Sweet One!!!

Nice image with a perky pose. The BG is great and even the stray feather on the left seems to add to the image. PP looks good to me. :toast:
