p.1 #1 · Meadowlark in Snow.. and others (8)

A day after our first of two snowstorms, I sat out in the backyard and observed and photographed my yard birds since it's not often I get nice contrast like this... especially with the ground feeding birds. Thanks for looking! -Mike U

#3 is the prize here. It's got a leg up on the rest!

Seriously it is a great shot with some action, colour, great eye focus, and the lovely BG. Beauty. Don

Thanks Karl! It's easy to blow those whites out, yet at the same time underexpose because of all the white. I was checking the blinkies for highlights often on the D7000

It's funny, because initially it wasn't my favorite.. but after I processed it and got the crop the way I wanted it.. it ended up being my favorite of the bunch, too. I think I'll be adding that one to the MikeUmscheidPhotography.com gallery. I appreciate the response, Don!

codroy, thanks! I've struggled with the difficult whites for a long, long time. It takes a lot of practice out in the field to get them right.. and every angle is different.. It's a delicate balance, indeed. -Mike
