Birds in Winter

 Winter is not over yet here in Moscow, so here are some still wintering birds.

Some tits, in and around improvised feeders, from 5l water bottles.

Some ruddy shelducks hoping for a thaw soon

Great and Marsh Tits

Tits of September 2018 - Nikon Coolpix P900

First, unprocessed pix

Marsh tit.

Great tit acting unpleasantly surprised.

In camera (P900) processing - Quick Retouch

Note P900's bokeh

Painting effect - obviously it doesn't work in this case - you need an under exposed image to start with.

Photo illustration effect - I think it looks nice.
