Chickadee Headshot (with seed)


This image highlights a problem that I sometimes run into: a purple highlight. I'm not sure if I'm getting this because of the position of the sun with respect to my subject (that's my best guess). What I like about this image (as it is) is the detail that can be seen in the feathers, with the lines all over the bird's body. The purple halo... not so much. Thanks for stopping by!


So, I think I figured out what I did. Apparently, when I lightened up the image so that I could see the bird's eye, that's when it brought out the purple "halo" at the top of the bird's head. Keep everything dark, and the purple glow is (at least) not quite as noticeable.
