Went for a wander to the local bird type place today and got some great shots - not had time to process them all yet, but this is one of my favourites so far:

Any suggestions for improvement greatly welcomed

How about a red-eye warning, or have a pair of shades at the ready

Thats bright - looks good though, detail is great except for the bottom left, but thats not surprising considering the focus point.

Great shot - would suggest a frame though

And a great shot to boot - lovely focus and real brilliance to the colours !

Agree - the frame definately looks good on a great shot

I'm not suggesting that it is but it does look very bright. Was it really that red?

Great shot none the less.

I haven't done anything at all to the colours. Other than a teeny crop down the left hand side, and exposure adjustment, this is literally what came out of the camera

I like it. Don't mind the bottom corner being out of focus - gives it depth.

MyPix · 13-01-2006, 22:40

I think this is a great shot,
well composed and good detail where it needs to be,

i first thought it was too bright, but then i went and sat on the sofa while the pic was still up on the screen, and when i glanced over to the pc i thought ...wow... it looks 10x better from the proper distance ( not sat right against the screen ) , the levels are just right

i wouldnt change anything,

deffo a pic to print of and get framed

top marx

very cool, love the colours, fantastic!

Rog you still having issues with your frames?

Nice shot Cheryl. I wondered if it was over-saturated, but I know some of these exotic birds can display incredible colours. I just did an auto colour balance for sunlight - I don't know if this is more as you remember it? It's a cool shot either way.

excellent shot !

very sharp !

Oh I like that too! Nice one. A little harsh on the eyes, I think what Cedric has done is a little better on the eyes though. Excellent!

Sorry, but I prefer the full colour version. I remember one of these things escaping from a zoo and perching in a tree at school - their colours really ARE that vivid. Well done, Cheryl - lovely shot.

I love it.......

Patzt · 14-01-2006, 07:35

I think that this is an amazing shot! Love it!
