Savanah Sparrow ?Photo Art

I thought there was a photo art tag??? Anyway, I really liked the delicate nature of the foliage. Unfortunately, the sparrow was a bit soft. The photo art aspect is that I reduced clarity in camera raw to soften the image even more and try to give it a more painterly feel. Does this work for anyone?

What technical feedback would you like if any? Any

I really like this, Allen! As you said, it has a very delicate, pretty feel due to the thin branches and the pastel colors. The softness on the sparrow doesn’t bother me in this photo because it fits in with the soft, gentle background and the overall feel of the scene. Very nice!

Lovely image, Allen. I especially like the fact that you captured the sparrow in his habitat. It really adds to the story.

Seeing as you have given this a very painterly feel (which I think works perfectly here), the softness of the sparrow works in this case.

Nicely done!

I see why you did this, Allen. I love the foliage. This level of detail works for me. I like the slightly soft look-it works well with the delicate foliage.
