Fantastic close-up, although I don’t blame you for getting out of his way, they can be quite nasty! I love the treatment you put on this… :)
Diane Swarts replied
Yeah I am not a big bird fan anyway they scare me, but I was trying to be brave and broaden my animal folio. This is as is from camera other than adding a orton effect on it that brightened the color up and gave it a soft look. Thanks for looking Kat!
