Golden-crowned Kinglet

Gallery: AvianPosted October 17, 201387 views5 comments

Took this photo today at the Scarborough Bluffs. These birds were everywhere in the park giving me plenty of shots to practice on. With the Autumn colors for a background I was able to get a good selection of photo-ops of the Golden-crowned Kinglet. Photo was cropped and edited in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.

A fantastic image of this little bird. The detail is superb and the spider in the beak puts it over the top (along with the spider web)

Unique capture John, the web has added great interest.
Like the way the web runs under the birds foot there, nice details

Excellent shot. I like the perch, the webs and the spider in beak. I might crop it just a little looser.
