blazin' bird

A departure from the norm! : )

 

OK... so I haven't quite mastered the art of shooting birds against a bright sky yet. That doesn't seem to stop me from trying, though. This one was like so many other attempts... the bird came out too dark. You can just barely make out his eye - if you squint real hard! There was some lovely orange-leaf bokeh behind him, so I figured what the heck - I'll just make him really dark and voila... this is the result.

 

Maybe I should have called him my "lemonade bird", you know..... making lemonade out of lemons?! ; ) - This is another one that I figure people will either really like..... or they really won't!
