Both good shots Ian, shame the wing was cliped on the second but its so easy to do, either way I like them both

 

[IanC_UK]

Thanks guys

Yeah, thats why its only almost the shot i wanted

I had it framed perfectly, little bugger hopped left, lifted its wings and dived off

Looks like you're having a couple of very productive days!

Can't make up my mind about these Ian, it's a pity the wing is clipped in the second shot,much prefere the one you posted the other day.Hope you don't mind.....

 

[purpleclouds]

Both lovely images! They do however look a tiny tiny little bit over sharpened on my macbook.. mostly visible around the beak on the 2nd one. Nothing to worry about though!

 

[kerrance]

beautiful shots

 

[IanC_UK]

Thanks all

Bri, no offence taken mate, i prefer the other too

Phil, not sure what you are seeing as oversharpening, the 2nd one has its beak open slightly, but i have hardly sharpened these at all ! lol i did have to run slight NR on the background, not the bird, wondering if that might have caused what you are seeing ?

The lightened beak edging looked a little jaggy, however upon comparing it with the first image, it may be the way in which the light is hitting the textured bit. Like I said, it only appeared every so slightly (if it even is!), I very nearly didn't even mention it, but it seemed stupid only writing 'lovely images'

Is always good to get others opinions, we sometimes dont see faults in our own stuff that others see, glad you said something, we can all learn and improve
