    A straggler from the photo safari

    About a month ago, the wife and I took a walk around a couple of wetlands preserves near our house. This one that I didn't think was worthy....until I started working on it a little bit. The more I look at it, the better I like it. Don't know if everyone agrees, but, I thought I would post just for fun. This is a Tree Swallow if anyone was wondering.

    Difficult background but it is sufficiently toned down to make this scene work well. Good focus and exposure on the subject.

    Very nice image of a beautiful bird Brian. I like the contrast between it and the rusty post as well. My instinct though would be to lose about a third of the space on the LHS so that the bird is less central in the frame.

    Agree with John's comment, Brian. Also it is a pretty bird. 'Haven't seen one before.
