red poll III

Posted by amy (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) on 14 February 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

HAPPY VALENTINES!!!

I know these images are very similar but I think that although they are so similar, each does have a different nuance. This one is really noisy because of how much I enlarged it to get this close crop of the red poll. I do really love these creatures... they have such a great colour and believe me we need colour in our winters!! I thought how the red covered his little chest was so appropriate for Valentines. Oh, I added a bit of diffuse glow... sorry, can't help but fiddle!! LOL

Thank you again so much for all the comments on yesterday's post... You are all FABulous!!!
