Karen took some shots of city wildlife for a project the kids are working on at the elementary school she works at. Thought I'd share this one. I wasn't real excited about working these up on the computer but ended up enjoying them quite a lot.

James,
This shot has alot of interesting color and texture. I'm wondering if the tint is a little too far to green though as the underside of the bird appears a little green to me. For some reason the shadow that runs across the bird's back is causing an optical illusion to my eyes. I keep thinking there is an out of focus branch cutting through the bird. But when I look at it closely, I see that there is no branch. A very strange effect.

I'd say Karen did pretty well. I like the range of colors that comes through via the background. Nice detail in the feathers, too. It does look like the face is just beginning to go out-of-focus.

Nice shot. I know these little birds are not easy to shoot.
