Fieldfare with apple
I haven’t been active on this forum for quite a while, but I hope to contribute more regularly the comming time. During the last snowperiod, I have been photographing fieldfares in my parents' garden. This one was foraging on an apple.

Nikon D300s @ 250 mm, iso 200, +1.3 EV, f4, 1/200 sec on a beanbag.

Sharp with plenty of detail and the color of the apple works a treat :wink:

Hi Sandra, I like the simplicity of this, but achieving this can be more difficult too! Nice detail where it counts, you could het some more definition from the snow, but I quite like it, but might look at trying to extract some from the apple. Just a thought, but try a 16x 9 crop, might work too?

Your most welcome Sandra, need anything else you know where to come.

It's all looking good, just need to get those whites corrected if you feel it helps.
