Like Darwin’s theory of evolution, one tiny increment at a time things evolve. I love the Darwin story of the Birds of Paradise and the incredible observations of the finches in a geographically isolated chain of Islands. Where over such a very short period of time almost incrementally from generation to generation the birds and botanicals of the Galapagos Island evolved with each other.
Certainly, life evolving over billions of years may result in biological changes of significance based on probability alone but here in such a small subset of species and over such a small period of time such significant changes to fundamental structures appear less likely than probability alone. Either way, I was hoping to get some nice shots of Finches and as luck would have it this one happened into my camera. I am still just a babe at photography and especially using the photoshop apps so I was holding the Gouldian images back until I was a bit more comfortable with photoshop.
I like how photoshop works but am always concerned about overdoing it with too much colour or light so now it’s just a matter of refining the sliders and Eq.. Anyway here’s a crop and a photo-shopped image of one of my latest Gouldian finch images taken at Tumbling Waters July 2022 with the Canon 80D. :) Check the Wall Art for more.
