A Male Eastern Towhee | Below our Bird Feeders
This image is as much a painting as a photograph. Shot in the early morning in a shadowed place in our front garden. I spent the better part of an hour building up color, saturation and other values using Snapseed’s brush and other tools. Towhees are constantly moving, so it’s a bit fuzzy. The darkest feathers have been exaggerated while the others are a bit deeper than the light had shown them. I desaturated the surrounding area in order to bring out the subject.
