I call it signs of the times.

Hi Mike
It looks like a Citrine Wagtail, but I may be wrong..
Nice guy ! ;-)

Martine,

Thanks for the comment.
That is the closest looking bird i have seen so far. The only difference i can tell is the spot of red on the crown.

Hey Mike!! I might have cropped this a bit tighter to focus interest more on the bird.

Thanks Clyde.
I wasn't to sure on the crop but do understand what you mean!

I think it is a male western tanager.

I like it as it is. I think the impression would be different with more saturation.

The color looks realistic to me. I wouldn't change it.

I like the composition. I also appreciate how crisp the photo looks too.

Thomas and william,

Thanks for the comments.
This is one of my favorite out of the series!

The posted like is better, the composition feels a little "cramped". Did you shoot more context?

Clyde,
Currently I do not have shot w\ more context.
The problem was that there was distracting elements and this was the best composition with the least distractions!

I am planning on re shooting w\ my d40 once my car is working .

Bernhard,

What do you mean "but not a motive i like ;)" ?

Thanks for the comment!

I like the subject and the composition but it is a bit underexposed for my taste.

Giuseppe,

Thanks for the comment. Subsequent rework of the image has changed the overall look to a somewhat more pleasing variation!

Did you post the re-work somewhere? I like this one a lot, looks like my kind of place. Would be interested to see what you did with it.

The first of many cars to come!
Shoot went great not to many cars but i had a great time!

Thanks for the comment Jon.
i will see if i can change the background a bit to make it pop.

Bonita fotografía.Pero el suelo esta esta como algunos dibujos de PC. Aunque muy bonita y realista.

Ana,

Thanks for the comment.
Glad you liked and i hope to re shoot soon!

I like the image, but it does need a little more pop to it. Make the background a little more appealing and maybe even try to spruce up the barn a little. A shame about those bushes, but nothing you can do about that. Great eye.

Erik,

thanks for the comment.
Still contemplating re-shooting or trying to re-touch the photo!

Hate golf...but love this photo! Reminds me of "Honey I shrunk the kids!"

hampshire,

Thanks for the comment.
Yeah i don't golf either, just something that someone tossed in my yard.

Re crop/post of :

I like the recropped picture...but it seems you lost a little color. I hope they had homeowners insurance.

hampshire,

thanks for the comment.
Yeah, it does look like i missed a retouch step....

I call it "Midnight Snack"

je trouve la composition un peu trop centrée

lasiate ,
