Title: More & more are coming back....
Post by: gjtoth on October 16, 2008, 06:47:56 PM
They're really starting to get used to the new feeding station.  Here are a few from over the last couple of days.

This is "before" shot taken on a really cloudy day.  The background really stinks.  This little Downy Woodpecker gets lost in it!

Here's an "after" shot.  I did a little post-processing with Gimp using a plug-in called "Gradient Sky".  Quite a difference!

Yes Melody I do too.  I can't imagine being blind and not seeing these beauties. 

Keep them coming Gary.

Gary - you're a pretty pereptive person yourself!  That's obvious from the kind of shooting you do.  GREAT shots!
