Another Canyon Towhee

Gallery: AvianPosted May 2, 201543 views3 comments

This one from the Gonzales Family feeder station.  I think this one has more contrast with the bg, though personally, I liked the bg in the one I posted a few days ago.  This pose does seem to me to show a bit more personality.

7Dii, 500mm f4 ISL, Jobu Gimbal on RRS legs, f/6.3, 1/800, iso 800, aperture priority, center weighted average metering, no compensation.  Processed in LR5 & CS6.  Cropped to 15.6 MP from the original 20.  Taken at 7:56 am.

Your comments are very much appreciated.

Thanks for looking,

Nice one. I like the way the head feathers stand up cool. Nice colros and catch light. Cheers, Hans

I like the alert pose here Dennis, and the simple background contrast well with the bird. Great detail as well-nice work.devil

Very nice, soft and subtle colors in this one, Dennis. Suites the Towhees tones well. Perhaps a touch more noise reduction to the BG.

Good Work!
