The Eyes Have It 3I8509

 

Dramatic color attracts the eye, and the painted bunting is certainly a bird of flamboyant color. Areas of brightness, in an image, can do the same thing. It is interesting, however, that despite intense color and dappled areas of brightness in this photo, the eye is still drawn predominantly to clarity. Notwithstanding the numerous patches of bright yellow and green and the wild color of the bird’s feathers, I think that most will agree that one’s eyes repeatedly return to focus on the crisp clarity of the bird’s eye. Like a black hole in the great void of space, the attraction is unavoidable. It leaves me with a sense of wonder, and questions unanswered. #PaintedBunting
