Thanks Patrick. Glad you like it. 🙂

Thanks Elin. 🙂 Radial blur filter in ON1 Photo RAW. Also “Big Softy” vignette filter, added a little magenta with a color filter and a bit of dodging to lighten the birds face.

Thank you Diane. 🙂

Fun with filters. 🙂  No shortage of Black-capped Chickadees here this spring.

Very nice image Pat. Kind of appropriate that our two shots are together.

Thanks for commenting Patrick. I dug through the archives looking for an image to work with that gives the opposite emotion of the warm springtime shot I posted earlier. Was looking to portray a cold, dark, sad feeling.

Love what you took away from the stem on the the headstone. Very touching.

Thank you Rose Marie. 🙂

Thumbs up Kristi. Two very nice springtime images.

Our yard in a bottle. And a hummingbird.

Had to smile when I saw the startled look on the b&w Robin. 🙂 Beautiful feather detail too.

Wow. Love that blue color. Nice one Patrick.

Eyes on the road Bobbie. 🙂 Thanks for commenting.

Thanks Elin. Spring always shows up eventually. 🙂

Thanks for taking the time to do the work Robert.

Intricate shapes of branches, contrast and layering in background created a beautiful image. Congratulations on POTW!

I like the soft light, subtle tonality and shallow DOF. Nice work Joseph.

Nice catch. Great comedic look on this starling’s face.

I agree. No apologies necessary. Beautiful images of an event very few of us will ever witness in person. Keep ’em coming Elin. 🙂

Terrific view of a very colorful image of every day life.
