Lovely birds to photograph Russ

Thanks fellas
This proved difficult to get in focus in the dense branches, but so glad I got a record shot!

I very occasionally get one on my bird feeders, but never got near photographing it.

Great photo, branches behing don't matter, its where the little bugger lives...

maybe it just lack a little colour, contrast or the "correct" black level Russ

Only looking on my laptop, but I just feel it lacks something

 

[Rustydon]

I'll look into it Bill. Thanks for response

Russ

 

[Rustydon]

it just lack a little colour

- I've increased the contrast a little Bill - any better?



Ta!

Russ

 

[Rustydon]

Better still perhaps, now I've reduced the blue hue ?
