Birds and their patterns – Cee’s Black & White Challenge
I am always amazed at the beautiful designs in the feathers of our local birds. It’s nice to get the front face of a bird, but often more interesting when you see his or her back and the amazing patterns.

Thank you. I got a LOT of pictures in the snow. The birds were really crazy for food, like they knew something I don’t know. That worries me — but I’m more worried about the election.

Gorgeous! I knew there were patterns to the feathers, but thank you for bringing them out so magnificently!

You don’t usually get to see them because birds are always in motion. You need them from the back, hopefully with wings spread.

Thank you. I knew what I was looking for. It just took me a while to find them and then to convert them to black and white.

You picked MY favorites, too. I actually printed and hung the first one, only in color and a little bit wider to fit in the frame. The other one was a real piece of luck. I’ve taken to shooting very fast and basically without knowing exactly what I’m getting when the birds are moving. It turns out you can’t wait until a wild creature does something interesting and THEN take the picture. You have to already be taking the picture or you’ll miss it.
