Nuthatch

[jc55]

c&c welcome,thank you.
ps dont worry about the screw

A tiny bit soft but could probably be sorted with a little sharpening, lovely coloured background - certainly living up to the first part of its name

Well caught john i think your best so far

Very quick edit hope you don`t mind.

I know the artefacts are still knocking about, but it is a quick edit.

Background noise reduction, selective sharpen,cloning out of food and a level & contrast boost in layers. As said quick edit, if you don`t like it then i`ll nuke it........

2 nice shots John, the first is a tad soft but the second is spot on a beautiful image

Fracster,no problem, thank you for comment.

The background noise seems quite severe, especially considering you shot at ISO 400. I don`t know Canon at all i`m afraid, but could you have altered something in the settings that is causing this?

 

[jc55]

ive ran a small nr on this one

 

[fracster]

I think that is better mate.
