Sunset Bluebird by darylo

Sunset Bluebird

All I can say is wow, I had an amazing afternoon walking around East Roswell Park while my daughter was at soccer practice. This eastern bluebird posed for several shots, and I was just so pleased to get this one.

Very little processing--a crop to avoid the pattern of a chain linked fence--I liked the slope of the rail, however. The spring green backdrop is dreamy--sunset spectacular.

I wish I could post every photo from this outing--dandelions, chickadees, some kind of teeny tiny nuthatchy bird, cardinals, robins, helicopter leaves...oh, it was so much fun playing in manual.

AND, got in my bird shot for the day. So flower and bird! Yay!

Pretty colors. I especially like how the light green surrounds him, almost highlighting him.

Wonderful shot Daryl - what a super little bird - wish we had them here!! The bokeh is the background looks gorgeous! : )

@cjainmd Thanks Chandru--I loved the background.

@chrissieh Thanks Chrissie!

@rennes Oh, they really are so lovely Lisa, and I don't see them often--I really loved the bokeh too. Right now, early spring in the Atlanta area produces almost golden green early leaves. When the sun hits them, it's so dramatic, so this bokeh came out without any need for processing. I love when that happens! Yesterday's "Fire Tree" was the same--love the greens!

Fav! What a crisp shot of the bird -- the details are great, love the bokeh color. Keeping the railing was a good idea as well.
April 27th, 2013  
@taffy Thanks so much for the fav! I was even thinking about including some of the chain link, but I thought it would ruin the fluid feel of the bokeh--gotta love spring green coming to the rescue there! :)
April 27th, 2013  
this is really very beautiful shot! love the color! fav for me!
April 27th, 2013
