Lovely Beak

Apologies, I liked this one better. Love how the beak stands out as I continue to play with idea of selective color in LR5.

Wow, wow, wow!! Especially viewed large! I thought of you today...I caught some birds at the feeder at A's preschool...not this amazing I'm sure (haven't looked yet)! The detail is amazing! Love the selective color! Fav!

@luvmynynix Oh, I want to see!!! I'm trying a bw Feb (who knows, may change mind), but I'm seeing how I can incorporate some red or other distinctive color in the shots with LR5. :) Thanks for the fav!

Really nice one.

[Pam Knowler]

Wonderful capture and great processing!! I still want to see this gorgeous bird in all its beautiful colours. I love the detail of the feathers!!

[Daryl O'Hare]

@pamknowler this one is a female cardinal and has mostly muted tones except for the beak. The male is the one with the stellar red.
