Title: Bird in mustard field
Post by: Matt Tilghman on May 20, 2011, 03:02:42 am

Here is another photo from the same place I posted last, Calero County Park.  It is actually almost the same photo as one of the parts of the panos, but I started thinking that the bird lost his presence in the pano, so this section might work as a single photo as well.  Thoughts?

Thanks!

 i don't know if the version on your website is what you intended to upload - that one the bird is insignificant

In the uploaded image the bird matches the background so perfectly in color as to be invisible.

I.e., where's the photo?

darnit guys I promise I'm not dumb!  does it work now?

degrub - is this the one you found?  If so, I disagree!  The bird definitely plays a role

Its ok, -  happens to all of us one time or another.
Yes, it is there now.

See if you like it more by flipping it horizontally.

IMHO, the light is in a better place and the image flows better.

Now the bird is quite visible, and I agree it's a central part of the image.
