Not sure I have ever seen the red patch on RWBB displayed like this Morris, that is some awesome detailing. You had to work in the tangles to get these. I like the Catbird peeking out in the last shot
Karl
Thank you Karl,
I was amazed when I opened the RWBB photo and saw the way the feathers curled. I've started to see real value in having the subject peering out from a hiding spot.

The detail in the blackbird shot is awesome, having photographed a lot of blackbirds I know how hard it would be to get this shot.
Thank you,
They are a tricky exposure and it's taken me a long time to figure out how to get it correct.

Wonderful young RWBB Morris! Having kept a variety of birds over time, I can't help but notice the pin feathers in great detail on your RWBB, which tells me it's a young'un. A very nice set of your locals from that park.

Thank you Eric,
I appreciate learning how you could tell it's age. This large urban park is a joy to visit.

Nicely varied set, Morris.
As others have said, the RWBB stands out to me too. I also like the catbird in deep shade. Did you have a particular reason to process that way?

Thank you Kim,
The only light reaching the catbird was green and all attempts to remove the green cast produced an ugly images and the green cast was no better. Fuji cameras support what are called film simulations and one can use these simulated films as one shoots in in post processing. ACR supports the film simulations when you shoot RAW so all I have to do is open that feature and then hover over the various films to see what the image looks like on that film. I went through all the simulations and settled on Arcos (One of Fuji's clastic B&W films) with a red filer. That looked very nice yet was a bit flat so I added some contrast with a custom curve. I'm very good at doing B&W conversions in Photoshop yet this is a delightful way to do the conversions.
