winterberry bird

"be like the bird that,
passing on her flight
on boughs too slight,
feels them give way beneath her,
and yet sings,
knowing that she hath wings."
-victor hugo

i took this photo on my winter walk.  in the original photo the bird is very gray and blends into the background...it was hard to make him stand out against the beautiful bright winterberries [i don't actually know what winterberries are, but that word just sounds so pretty - so that's what i'm calling these red berries :)].

the processing on this photo took awhile, but the wonders of photoshop helped this little bird stand out [see larger image on flickr & before/after below].

i'm really learning a lot in my new photography class and from just playing around in photoshop.  it's nice to have a creative outlet from all of the reading and writing!

i have another presentation today...hopefully it will go well.  then....it's the weekend!
