So I was looking around the farm looking for a subject for a Challenge. The first thing I noticed was the brown landscape. So I was thinking that everyone has something brown inside or outside their home that could make for a unique photo op.

So lets try things that are brown.

One I posted before in Photo Gallery and Digital Artistry, the other two were the other frames from a 3 shot series. Main difference is head position changes a little bit and I processed them in a similar way but not exactly the same.

7DII, 100-400 mkII + 1.4 mkIII @560 mm, 1/250 @ f/8.0, ISO 400 with flash at about 15 feet so heavy cropping on a smallish finch - hand held taken less than an hour before sundown with the yard in heavy shade from trees and fence to the west.

2. The Beauty of Brown Feathers #2 head down and slightly to left
3. The Beauty of Brown Feathers #3 looking a little to right and eye showing

Brown is about my most un-favorite color but here is one on my way home that has a lot of brown. This was October 16 maybe the 15th 2015 after the rain was so bad that it nearly ended my time here on this planet. I was on my way home and got stuck on the road I normally take home which was flooded to the point it scared the living S..t out of me! Later that night it closed the freeway Hwy 58, for nearly a week and it trapped over 100 cars in a flash flood. But anyway once I got out of that situation thank god and this is just 10 more miles closer to my place and I saw this scene and had to stop for a photo opp. What a diverse landscape I live in because the clouds that caused all the havoc were black as night but this was quite the beautiful sight I think.

Love all three!

It seems everything turns brown in the late fall of Colorado, so lots to choose from. Here are some favorites.

What a photo-op is right! So many things going for it - the colors, textures, lighting, sunburst, lines. Well done - and glad you're still on the planet.

As a nurse I've seen more brown than I care to think - and all shades between. Never was fond of brown. But guessing that doesn't have to stay the case.
