hi everyone took a few more today .thought id share as im gettin a few birds in the garden now " there is a pair of longtailtits" that i am waitin to catch..






thanks for looking c+c welcome as always.

Nice capture - especially with the OOF framing of the branches You could not have got it better. I find the light background is making the bird seem a bit dull, and maybe it could be lifted a bit, and maybe a crop of some of the upper part of the image?

Great shot, agree with dabhand that the colours of the bird are a little washed out, a tweak of the saturation would probably sort it out. Love the catchlight in the bird's eye.

is this any bettr chaps



hope u think so..

[Dabhand16]

Yes, but the crop is a bit close to the tail, and the background is still like looking into the sun.

But better than the first one, for sure

[JMitchell]

I would select just the bird and increase the saturation a little, nothing too drastic or you'll get hot pixels like you started to there. And agree about the crop. Also try doding the background to darken it a little.

[Rob Barron]

The second one is a definite improvement though monkey, works really nicely so well done. I love the angle you have captured our little friend here and the catchlight in the eye that adds character.

Great stuff,
Rob

Great colors in this bird. Our tits are black and white with just a little brown. Agree with the comments above to make the bird stand out against the bg.
