    I had the feeling that I was being watched

    Back to my drive around the wildlife drive through Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge last weekend. It was a classic Spring day with balmy temps. I stopped in the oak savanna, one of the few areas with trees of any size in the midst of prairie, marshes, and swamps. I was hunting for Warblers, alas it was too early yet this time.

    But I was being watched....

    I had the feeling that I was being watched

    Nice, that dandelion in the background makes it look like the bird's ornament.

    I'm of two minds on that...part says remove, part says leave

    I think it helps somewhat, you can move the image around in Lightbox to see other versions.

    Being in such a prominent position I would prefer to remove it; but that could involve quite a bit of work to make the 'repair' look natural.

    Maybe just a fraction more feathering? But hardly noticeable if you didn't know where to look.

    Since the bird is somewhat camouflaged and the white of dandelion is brighter than the main subject, it would be nice, not to retain it. You worked it away nicely, I suppose;a nice image and a meaningful caption. regards

    Like...
    I was pretending to be a peacock
    'til someone cloned my crest out
    So off I ran without my head
    and hide and cried at the back of the shed.


    I will be different. I like that dandelion because I looked at it differently and inspired to make a poem. Do you like it?

    Very nice image, I prefer it without the dandelion
