Week #4 - Jaunty Mockingbird
by Laura Milholland

Las Gallinas Wildlife Ponds, San Rafael, CA

This little fellow popped up on a tree branch when I first arrived at the local ponds the day after Christmas.

What a great catch. Lovely composition with use of rule of thirds and lighting.

I like that you were able to capture all of him, even though he is looking away. And the yellow on the branch, along with the fact that he is almost in a circle really makes him stand out. Well done.

This shot is cropped and brightened just a tad. But nothing else. No noise reduction or other processing than resizing and sharpening a tiny bit for web. The bird had a bit of shade across his back and tail, but his head/face is in sunlight.

Cute. Very well done colors & composition. I'm guessing you used some noise reduction. Maybe because the subject was in the shade??? But whatever you did, the resulting image looks like a painting. It works. Nice. I like it. Bokeh is wonderful.

Excellent! I like the composition, bokeh, colors, twigs, and the sweet little bird. Nice!
