Bluebirds again
Today's snow tempted me to go out again to look out for the bluebirds and there they were in Running Deer Natural Area. It's strange why I don't find them when it is not snowing, hope they stay here for a little while before moving on ...

Great work Soubhik! I love the color of the bird against the almost colorless background. I think my favorite is #3for the nice comp with the stream going through and the bird is striking a great pose. :toast:

These are all terrific, Soubhik! You nailed what appears to be some tricky exposures. Love the high key backgrounds, too. #4 is superb, but I like 'em all. Excellent work!! :toast:

Nice series Soubhik. Not easy to get one of these guys in flight. The HK BG makes them pop.

#s 2 through 5 are the nicest of this set. #2 is definitely my top choice. What is nice is the blueness of the bird against the white background. The reflection in 4 is cool too. Nicely done set.

These are pure art, Soubhik! #4 is prize winning IMO :toast:
