A little Chickadee telling me to go away. This would have been good for the Sound challenge except I thought it looked better with Advanced editing. I like this little one's attitude and the light (late afternoon). He reminds me of an Audio-animatronic Disney bird :-)
PP - converted from RAW, cropped, levels, white balance, reduced gamma, dodged beak slightly, increased saturation, desaturated a little on the top of his breast, colored/cloned bit of background blue near his head, cloned out two bright bits of twig, resized, sharpened with slight noise reduction, added border. |

| The open beak, the angle of the head, and the difficult to get catch-light all combine to make this strong example of bird photography |

| Nice shot. Too bad the head is not in better focus. |
