This is my entry for today's Monomad Challenge: the bird.

I took some time to edit some of the photos from my last walk. the truth is that I still have a lot left, but what I lack is time to work on them. I wanted to be more consistent in posting the photos, but I may not be able to keep doing it for much longer. My job requires concentration, and lately I've been feeling more tired than I should. I don't know if it's stress, exhaustion from working here and there, or the stupid heat that I hate. I don't know.

But anyway, let's get to the point. We'll start with the photo I liked the most for this post, although I must say that I liked something about all of them, either because of the challenge they presented when taking the photo, or because I truly feel they have something special, just like this photo: the position of the bird, Shooting Against the Light, which I feel was well executed, the composition... I didn't even crop the image; the editing is minimal.

And since we're talking about birds, two posts ago I mentioned a bird that sang beautifully. Well, I found it again, hidden among the trees. It wasn't the best position for taking a photo, the composition was difficult, and most of all, I had to play around a lot with the ISO to be able to take the photo. Each of the images has the exposure data so you can analyze it.

One more bird, unfortunately its eye was almost completely blocked and there was no opportunity to take a second photograph because it flew away.

And finally, a turtle again, but this time I'm much happier with the focus on its eye. It was quite difficult to take the photo without it falling into the water, but every moment was worth it. See you soon.
