Dark-Eyed Junco Pose

 

  

Dark-Eyed Junco

The Dark-eyed Junco is a common bird around the yard and not a particularly striking bird, but it does have character. They always seem to be doing something silly or awkward. Here I captured a Junco eating seed and looking skyward.

The image was captured handheld with a Canon 40D and Canon EF 100-400MM F/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens. The RAW image was imported into Adobe Lightroom for cropping, exposure adjustment, and Dodging the background with the adjustment brush. The final edited image was exported to JPEG shown here.
