Graveyard Life


A Robin hunting from the tops of gravestones in front of a gorse hedgerow.
I'm not convinced the nice backlit rim lighting and interesting shadow outweigh the lack of a catch-light in the eye, but the pose, texture and colourful gorse flowers add something to the mix.
I very rarely stack different white balance images together, but with the cool shadow and warm sunlight I couldn't find a colour balance that suited both, just one of those times when a bit of Photoshop makes a photo more like what the eye sees.

ISO500, 560mm (teleconvertor), f/8, 1/1000s, -1ev, selective colour balance, levels
