I did try to make it a little more intersting, but as red is dominant I didn't get too far.

If you didn't read his latest book yet - I humbly suggest to do so.
If nothing else, you would never have to say or feel things like "color X is dominant, hence I could not do anything about it" ever again
It will simply become a non-issue, trust me. Take it from a former Sony guy (Sony sensors were notoriously infamous for over-saturating the reds )
Spring in Tulsa!
I though I would add another Oklahoma pic! *Edited*
I changed my entry. I realized that family reunions might not signify spring to everyone the way they do to me...so here's a pretty Oklahoma tree! Hope it gives you the Springy feeling!
Sorry. Robins are migratory birds. Here in the Northeast U.S., in New York, robin red breasts are very much a specific symbol of spring, as they migrate back for the summer. They'll leave again in the fall, and it all starts over again the next spring. And, so it goes. Migratory birds are Spring.

Nik, a Robin is practically the American bird of spring. At least where I grew up. Robins are mentioned in literature, children's books, poetry, articles, etc as being synonymous with spring. The first Robin of the year is reason for rejoicing as that means spring must be here.
The woodpecker I don't know about. Robins are a common bird everywhere I have lived whereas I saw my first woodpecker last year. And it was in the spring. The only ones I have seen last yr and this were in the spring, but they may be here year round.
Before the folliage gets thick on the trees, I discovered last yr, many small birds can be seen that get lost in the leaves during the warmer times of the year.
I love this time of year when the folliage is a special pale green. It is still not thick, but the birds are getting more difficult for me to see, the little ones are. However, I love the color of the green, that early spring green, almost as much as I love seeing the birds.
That is why I really like that photographed that I was lucky enough to take of the woodpecker. That is as close as I have come to "capturing" the spring folliage in a photograph, the color I mean. What is around the woodpecker is as important to me as the bird him/herself. Each one sets the other off.
That bird was very high up, and he did not appear to find what he was looking for while I was trying to photograph him. Hence, it was a bit of a chase with my eyes and my lens and the bird, trying to bring them all together at the same time. He may not have as many pixels as if he had come nearer, but it could have been much worse. The photo gods of spring smiled!
Ginger,
Thank you for the detailed explanation, appreciate it!
For me, being a forigner and living in CA, this is all a new material. We have different migratory birds/spring heralds in the heart of Russia where I used to live.
I think there is still too much red in the face, though. I am still trying to get a good handle on i2e and what to set, when to set it, and what the different options do.

Beautiful closeups!
Yet at at risk of repeating myself, they don't say "Spring"

Having some great 70 degree weather so the family went for a walk!
This is the emotion when thinking of "Spring"

For some reason it does look Springy :-)
Maybe it's the girl :-)
Thank you for the entry!
Thank you!
Is that also one of the migratory brids?
Here is a sampling....

Intersting thing about your #3: I don't exactly know how it works, but if you look at it for like 5 minutes or longer, you can see the flowers...
Springtime in Atlanta means pollen; today's Pollen count is "very high," apparently mostly from Oak trees. See http://weather.weatherbug.com/GA/Alpharetta-weather/pollen-count.html ... the pine trees haven't even started yet.
This image is of a car in the parking lot at my office.
my words, my "pro"pictures, my "fun" pictures, my videos.
Is it like water taces + pollen?

But i've got some flowers too, spring or not, you decide. No macro lens here, but my 18-200 does pretty good job.

Not even migratory crocks?
Thanks, nice flowers!
See you soon ...
Still shows flowers, but probably a bit more "springy".
GreyLeaf PhotoGraphy
Definitely more "springy"!
I have a question: did you use Shadow/Highlight tool on this image?
GreyLeaf PhotoGraphy
Yeah, neither do I...
And here it is processed raw-to-jpg via ie2.
I think there is still too much red in the face, though. I am still trying to get a good handle on i2e and what to set, when to set it, and what the different options do.
