..another awesome shot by wifey.. and if you’re wondering if we got mutant trees, i’d tell you no.. i just did a selective color thingamajig to make the birdy more prominent, it’s hard to tell where it is with all the green leaves around it.. even i had a hard time finding these birds camouflaged in these trees but wifey had no problem locating them.. talk about good eyesight, i guess i should eat my veggies too..

superbe mais pas facile de se dissimuler avec un tel plumage
Some superb colours in this one, both the bird and the trees.
Very nice shot Rian, This is such a beautiful bird. So your wife got interested in photography seeing you or she had this hobby from before
thanks, navin.. she got bitten by the shutterbug just recently.. 🙂
She must have a great vantage point for these. An upstairs window? Neat effect from the processing.
Thanks! yep, our place has a porch overlooking the lake.. good vantage point for wildlife shooting.. 🙂
You’ve done a great job of giving the Cardinal a prominent look in this shot. He’s a beautiful bird – wish we had those around here. Fine image.
The best bird shot ever ! FABULOUS ! You made background outstanding , so that red bird almost sing there !
Love the way the red pops.
Love the colors, cool shot!
Great! Nice bird color. Not positive about the color of the leaves, but I know what you mean. You two can be a team like Framed and Shot! You, architecture. Her, nature.
thanks! sounds cool.. yep, she could be “digitized”, i’ll be “chaos” 😀
When is your wife going to get her own photoblog Rian? 🙂 Anyways this is another great bird shot! Great processing and photo!
This red bird amazing is !!! Splendid colouring and composition. Congrats!
What a superb bird. As with Mike, the colour of the leaves is a bit wacky, however, it does help the bird stand out.
i like the color work you’ve done here! it feels seasonless – i’m not a huge fan of green foliage in photographs a lot of the time so i find these colors refreshing.
Gorgeous! I love the splash of red in a sea of greens and browns.
The red cardinal amongst the bluish colored leaves makes a perfect contrast.
Superb bird, but with your processing it will beome even harder for it to hide away !
The saturated/de-saturated and red/brown-green contrasts are working very well.
The selective coloring works very good here and really makes the red bird stand out… and red it is, excellent.
Exquisite specimen. Is it real? 🙂
Love the bright red with the muted bluish green.
I like this and oddly, it doesn’t seem wrong!
hahaha. i guess you succeeded. it doesn’t just pop it screams.
Really an amazing shot. I love colours in particulary!
good color contrast
