High-Key Junco

Gallery: AvianPosted October 5, 2014223 views7 comments

This is a female Dark Eyed Junco in the snow from last February. Just a reminder of whats coming to us in the Midwest. I was kneeling as low as I could behind a snow bank when I made this. I really like the varied shades of browns on this lady.

Thanks for looking; any comments & suggestions are greatly appreciated!

It is hard to get all of the various shades of brown and grey with snow as the BG & FG, you have succeeded very well. Good sharpness also. Thanks for sharing.
