Dream bird
Mésange à tête noire, Black-capped Chickadee, L= 13 cm, E=20 cm, P=11 g
I feel the need here to give some details about this shot. In fact, if you look closely, you'll see one foot of the Chickadee under his wing (transparency). So the bird was just leaving this little branch and starting to take its flight and unfold his wings... There are no digital transformation on this picture except from sharpening tool, shadow/highlight and obviously, desaturation. The white softness in the lower part of the image is due to snow out of focus. And Tom, I can reassure you, there were no pin used ;-)
Here is a color image of this beautiful and sympathetic little bird...

You are indeed the master of imaging all things winged. A lovely, sweet shot of simple grace. Tones, comp, and DOF all the support the feathered friend. Nicely done, Michel. Congratulations on a lovely, in-camera shot.Lorraine Larochelle 08/04/2007 14:55
La mésange à tête noire est mon oiseau préféré. Tout petit avec tant de caractère. Peur de rien et tout migon. Cette photo noir et blanc lui fait tout honneur. Beau travail!Ludek Sagi Lukac 08/04/2007 10:56

This is quite ethereal...and almost like you pinned the little chickadee to a branch to make it look like it's actually flying...which, of course, we all know it actually is.Aloha
