Junco in the Snow

Gallery: AvianPosted January 5, 2011123 views6 comments

This guy was in my yard during a blizzard along with a lot of other Juncos. This was shot through a window. About 85% of original. I took a little off the top and left side to get rid of extra white space.

Nice portrait, especially considering it's through a window.

Exceptional detail through a window. You must keep your's cleaner than I do. Beautiful bird we rendered.

One of my favorite little birds, Richard.

I think you did an admiral job on him through the window.

The larger photo looks quite good.

Excellent detail, especially since you shot it through a window pane. I always say when someone shoots through a window, that it kinda negates that expensive piece of glass that you purchased to hang on your camera body, doesn't it?

One of the better "through the window" shots I think I have seen in a long time Richard. The snow really makes him pop off the page!
