Snowy Bluebird

I liked the take off position of this bluebird...wings not quite sharp enough, though, so I added a vignette to help accentuate the snow and show off the pose.

Beautiful Sharon.
Love the pose and fact that one can see the birds feet through the wings..
The vignette works very well here too

I like this image and what you did with it, Sharon. The vignette looks like fog to me, as if the bird is flying toward me out of the fog. Beautiful wing position and color.

One of the loveliest photos I've seen in a long time. The colors are superb, DOF and action can't be beat

This is the first time I've noticed the feather in your signature....what an artistic touch!
