Re: PESO: Finch Tryst
Thanks, Frank! A complete departure for me. Glad you approve of the heavy crop. Small birds, obviously, and hand held at about 40 ft away. A stern test for the FA 80-~320(at 320mm), but not a factor with this rendering.

Re: PESO: Finch Tryst
I've been trying to figure out what to say about this image. I like the composition. A BW conversion is reasonable, but it doesn't look right. The background is blown out, as are parts of the branch, and places on both birds feathers. I hate to say it but it's almost good...

Re: PESO: Finch Tryst
This is an all-the-way blowout just for the effect. I liked the gritty look which, for me, was something very different. 'sides, allow that I felt a twinge of creativity. :) Thanks, Peter!

Re: PESO: Finch Tryst
I really like the unusual composition. I miss the (presumably) vivid yellow color of the finches, though. Why did you choose BW?

Re: PESO: Finch Tryst
Only for the gritty mood. We have two well attended finch feeders in out back yard which have allowed me to shoot them any number of times. These are probably the only two who's color I'll ever change. Thanks for comments, Rick.
