Another from Bulgaria. Corn bunting on the edge of a rape seed field.

That's a very nice shot Paul, the dof is perfect and I love the bokeh.

What a great shot, i love the natural environment and a smart looking bird too!

Lovely capture Paul and the rape seed makes for a lovely natural setting To me the image is on the soft side, but as soon as I loaded it into PS to view it, then becomes sharp as a tack again. Hope you dont mind but I just applied a bit more sharpening again to see what the results look like, not sure what you think? I know we are aware of images losing quality sometimes after uploading, but as of late I think it seems to be getting worse :shrug:

Thanks for the comments. Rich - I think sharpening is a personal thing and yours looks a touch too far for my taste but thanks for the input. Think we'll just have to agree to differ! Interestingly, yours appears to have lost some of the vibrance in the colours - is it still sRGB?

That vibrance gives it an edge, nicely constructed shot, love the composition, the original one works for me

I think the rape seed color is more authentic in the original and makes a lovely backdrop for the bunting. The fact this is handheld and so sharp is superb. Nice one.

im hoping i got something useable from that one as well Paul, the yellow is exactly as it was on the day, and considering how flighty these little buggers were, not bad at all mate

Well I assume it was saved as sRGB Paul, and yes you are right about the sharpening taste of things Does agree to differ! mean we are arguing?
Cheers Paul

 

[grumpybadger]

I wouldn't say its an argument Rich, just you and I have a difference view of levels of sharpening.
