Often I will take a picture with a different image in mind, but it doesn't always come out as I expected. But sometimes I still like what I get outside my expectations I have for myself. For a while I was calling this kind of result a "happy accident," but really, whenever I press the shutter, it's always a surprise what I will get, especially when photographing birds.
These finches took flight right as I started to snap the photo. But when I went to edit that day's shots, I saw the potential in this image. It is no happy "accident" that I could see the art in the image. I need to give myself more credit.
It's happy art.
Yay!
