These images have been posted because I wanted to share the detail captured in this young bird's body feathers. I have not said this before on this blog, but these are a couple of images image worth clicking on to see the larger-size files. In the first, the eye is stunning and the neck and breast feather patterning is gorgeous. In the second, every cross-hatching of the breast feathers is there; the scaly legs are beautifully rendered; and the level of detail on the beak is wonderful – even to the extent of including what look like the remnants of downy 'whiskers'. And just a quick technical note: both images are completely unsharpened.

Gosh, that is superb.
ReplyDeleteHi Toffeeapple. You are always so quick to respond to posts – in this case before I had time to realise I had failed to upload the second image! I am so flattered you take the time and trouble to comment so often – it really is very much appreciated. Thanks, Tim
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful images. So clean, so detailed, superb.......
ReplyDeleteHi Tim,
ReplyDeleteGreat Balckbird images, it's always pleasing to get the photo right straight off, and not have to sharpen it up :-)
Tim, it's mostly that I have Google Reader open all the time so I can see new postings arriving.
ReplyDeleteHi Toffeeapple. Google Reader alerts don't mean you have to read or respond. Your input/feedback/comments are always much appreciated – Tim
