The last waxwing...

←Back

...in the flock stayed behind a bit longer, allowing me to take its portrait. Also, it is the last waxwing (Bombycilla garrulus) that I will post for this autumn - I guess...

Not as nice composition and not as nice pose as the pair in Table ras? but this one is at least sharp ;-)

Enjoy!

Cheers, Jens.

Not as nice composition ?

Yet I like it more than the other you mention. Yery harmonic colours and, indeed, sharp.

Is FocusMagic a program to reduce DOF?

Thanks Udo.

Well, this is straight out of the camera without cropping - forgot to think about the composition. I guess cropping the right part to make a square format could make it more interesting.

No, it is a program that, according to the inventers, sharpen slightly out-of-focus images by applying a sharpening algorithm based on optical theories about how images are blurred. In the few testes I did, it managed to sharpen some parts that were out of focus but then other parts of the image, which were in focus or more out of focus became very ugly. I guess using it on selection is adviceablre.

Cheers, Jens.

NO SUBJECT

Like it very much, very clean shot on a nice bird.
I am looking outside to my birdfeeder but not have seen them yet....;-)
