True colors shining through
Don't know if you've seen Michel’s incredible Bluethroat in Rapeseed shot, but I turned a nice shade of green over that picture (and he knew it! I can just imagine his develish smile when he uploaded it :-). He even offered to take me there in search of the Bluethroats but to my great shame I must admit I totally forgot our appointment.(never happened before, and for sure, it won't happen again). It says something about the character of the man that even after this, he gave me directions to the rapeseed field to find the bluethroats for myself. Thank you, Michel!
When I came there, lots of birds around but no bluethroats. In stead, this whitethroat tried to convince me quite loudly that white was much better than blue anyway :-)
When you think I've saturated the yellow in the background (rapeseed flowers), think again! I even had to desaturate it a bit as the original just hurt my eyes :-). Besides that, I only increased contrast on the whitethroat a bit, but that's all I did in PP. Decided to leave it uncropped, as I really liked the look of that tiny bird in that massive sea of yellow.
We are counting the days but in a couple of weeks, the two of us will be on another adventure to Iceland. Those of you that have followed me over the last years will remember the unforgettable trip we did 2 years ago. I'm sure that with the recent vulcano eruption it will be an interesting trip yet again!!
