Bird Feeder Tree (RIP)

[GraphyFotoz]

Bad wind storm 3 weeks ago took out the only large tree I had for my feeders. Neighbor helped with the clean up and took the wood. Took me forever to clean up all the limbs and such. Tree was a 65yr old Silver Maple. Due to a shallow root system and a huge lack of rain....1st bad wind storm (60mph gust).....it took a nap. :cry

My new feeding station after just 2 days.
Yes it needs a paint job. Was here from the previous owner.
Made out of some Farm impliments....not sure what?

Cloudy day.....0ev comp.....Skylight filter.....seems a bit grainy?
Is there a setting on my 828 that's not quite right?
Maybe internal contrast or something??
BTW: I did do a crop but at 8mp....what gives? :scratch

#1 Took off SkyLight 1A filter
#2 Found my sharpness setting on camera set to max...changed to normal.
#3 WB level was set to auto....changed to cloudy.

Did a Auto Color Level change in CS2 and did a Smart Sharpen.

Look better? :rolleyes
