The following images have plenty of both that I hope you'll enjoy.   2.  3.  4.  5.  6.  7.  8.  I'll have to say that I find pictures of this nature more interesting sometimes than their well-lit counterparts. I hope you'll agree and feel moved to leave your thoughts, comments, and criticisms for others to enjoy. Thanks for stopping by.... Steve

WallaceRiver " ...a bit of a pervy voyeur "  More info | Aug 22, 2014 06:44 | #9 Gorgeous set, Steve. You found a way to get the light on their heads and/or eyes, which really highlights them. The hawk is a great example.....great patience there!!! IAN - Living life on the shores of the Wallace River in northern Nova Scotia, Canada :

Aug 22, 2014 19:01 | #13 May have been dappled light but your processing is anything but dappled!! GREAT stuff. Those can be the hardest conditions but then again, may yield some of the most rewarding. No. 3,4, and 7 are great with the light rays on the eye and what I think is a thrasher is just plain excellent.

Most of these were w/the 5DMk3, but a few with the 1DMk4 sprinkled in. CDMOOSE wrote in post #17109373 A very nice selection, Steve; processing photos like that can be tough, but you've done well here. Al You're very kind Al. Truth be known these were a pretty easy lot overall to edit. A1original wrote in post #17109397 VERY nice, and you are right, the shadows really add a lot. Many thanks Ira, I'm glad you liked them. bigjohninva wrote in post #17109478 Very nice set.! Thank you bigjohn! 2n10 wrote in post #17109656 Great set and well done on the processing. Haha John, I know you've seen your share of shadows haven't you. Thanks for your generous comment. butterfly2937 wrote in post #17110299 What an outstanding set! You did a fabulous job given the lighting. Did you add any flash or is that all natural light? The set is just gorgeous! Thanks so much Carol for your generosity. I am not a fan of flash on birds so these were all natural light. txcanon wrote in post #17110773 An excellent series Steve! Great job working with the light and shadows. Always appreciate your kind words Brad. It's tougher shooting, but the results are often worth it. Wallace River wrote in post #17110997 Gorgeous set, Steve. You found a way to get the light on their heads and/or eyes, which really highlights them. The hawk is a great example.....great patience there!!! I always enjoy your comments and insights Ian. Story behind the hawk was that the wind was blowing the trees around and I was getting different lighting about every 20-30 seconds....didn't need a lot of patience! outofbounds wrote in post #17111047 Fantastic display of light and shadows. Nicely done. Thanks so much R.! It's always appreciated. Mag-1981 wrote in post #17111364 Lovely set. You're very kind to stop by Mag a leave such a nice comment. Thanks for that!
