Birding

From a group hike this morning (6 of us). Note two nearly identical photos because I struggle a bit here. Like the eye contact / bird’s expressiveness better in one, but nicer view of the feathers in the other.

What do you think?

I think it comes down to what you want to convey. Is it scientific ‘this is what the feathers look like’ or ‘connect with this other creature in the world’? (my framing might betray my preferences)

Ha I really do think someday I need an art class (or at least a book) as I’m quite procedural in how I photograph…

there is how one photographs, and then there is how one edits & decides which to share

Nuthatch is a neat bird.
Titmouse goes all-in, then later comes away with a big prize from the nut-based suet!
Downy loves the suet and several visit often!
