Here we go again… that’s a country song isn’t it? Which is rather apt considering I’m saddling up to give the Four One Challenge by Robyn over at Captivate Me another shot.
As crazy as this challenge sends me I really enjoy it. For this first week I was inspired by my earlier flower photo with the natural bokeh hence added some to this photo then upped the blue in the background.
This gorgeous little bird was singing the most glorious song at the Granville Island Markets, it’s what drew my attention to him. There were so many colors on this bird it was amazing as you’ll see in Week 4.
I like the overall tones in the image and the bird is well exposed and has some nice colours. I think the Bokeh works on the background but I am not to keen on it over the bird. Interesting how you will edit this image next week.
