Spotted Towhee

Hi Allen.
That's a nice bird that i have not seen before you don't give any tec details but the image does look a little dark and maybe a tad soft on my monitor but very well done for getting this shot of this fine bird.

Keith.

Allen, like Keith says, if you post the techs for the shot (equipment used, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, crop amount, any special processing) that can help us in critiquing. I like the interesting angle, you don't often see a towhee from below. I do think that this would work better with more dof to have the branch in focus too. There's some pretty obvious cloning with a repeated pattern on the top edge of the branch, I'd work on making that less conspicuous. Look forward to seeing more of your work.

Congrats on a wonderful subject! This is a tough shot to get to come out well. The bight sky at one end of the dynamic range and the dark colors of the bird on the other. I would have gone a tad bit lighter on the exposure.

Mike
