60D; EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM; 1/500 sec; f/7.1; ISO 800
LR & Nik & Alien & PS Oil Paint
The original was crazy backlit. Didn't have a flash at hand. Started with Auto in LR, then, played with the sliders before moving into Nik, then, Alien and finished in PS Oil Paint.
Am trying to get the Gold Finches to get lower

Hi Dave.
Not what I would do, I'd probably have binned it, not in to spending time in paint shop but that is just me too lazy to learn new stuff! Having said that it has worked nicely, a pleasing end result.
Was that a third bird to the left of the front birds tail? Sort of big blob of strong colour, tends to draw the eye to attempt to decipher it, if you have the ability to tone it down or eliminate it that would improve the image somewhat.
I hate to be critical towards people with considerably more skill and ability than I, but it is meant in the best possible intent.
Cheers, Graham.

Hi scyrene.
Beautiful shot of a beautiful creature. Was he /she caged, behind glass or out in the open? Our local place The Owl and Monkey Haven, they are behind wire which makes itself known as the barriers prevent one from getting close enough to loose it. (Could be a skill level thing on my part too.)
Cheers, Graham.

American Crow
Since someone has already posted some crow photos. This one was on our back deck rail yesterday. I'm trying to lure them in with Cheerios so I can test my Canon 7D MK II with the old 100-400 @ 400mm (nominal). f/8 @ 1/125, ISO 800, +1.33 EC. Full-frame, handheld.
Unfortunately for me, crows are very intelligent and they've managed to avoid posing for me most of the time. I suppose they want more of a fee than a few bits of breakfast cereal.
