Willet as Art

I was camping the Everglades National Park a few weeks ago and one morning I noticed hundreds of shorebirds along the coastline near Flamingo. When I went to investigate I found nearly a thousand Willets had most likely just landed in the US on the northern migration. Quite the spectacle to say the least.

I noticed the one birds attention and so I decided to conver this image to black and white and leave the one bird in color to sort of attact your eye towards him.

I used Adobe Photoshop CS4 to make a selection around the bird and then NIK sofywares Silver efx for the conversion to balck and white.
