Likin' the Moss
by Dennis Plank
Sorry. I couldn't resist that one. I know I have quite a few photos in the files that would fit this challenge, but I liked this shot of a Robin perched on a large Big-Leaf Maple trunk covered in moss (and Cottonwood fluff) that I took a week ago at Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge.
By the way, if you really like moss and you ever get to the Puget Sound region, plan a trip to the Bloedel Reserve. It's the old "summer home" of one of the early lumber barons and has a lot of natural landscaping, including an awesome moss garden.
7Dii, Sigma 150-600 C @ 600 mm, hand held, f/7.1, 1/125, iso 2500, aperture priority, pattern metering, -2/3 EV. Processed in LR & PS CC. Cropped to 9.4 MP. Taken at 2:09 pm on May 24th under mostly cloudy skies.
Your comments and critiques are always appreciated.
Thanks,

2 commentsWhat a cool perch for this Robin and what an excellent choice on framing this composition. When I first saw the thumbnail, it looked like snow in the moss but the fluff is more unique IMO.
Well done . . .
