Hey, I recognize this bird! ;) The image looks great and I wouldn't change a thing. It was a pleasure meeting you and look forward to future bird safaris in your neck of the woods! Best regards, ~Shawn

The colors of this one really go well together. The little splashes of green in the opposite corners and the orange-peach color on the chest and head blend well with the BG. Subject looks sharp too.

Swett portrait Adam. I may be tempted to get rid of the liitle grey thing......near the green...........but very nice color balance, comp, and exposure. Glad to see you all had a great time!

Hey Adam,

Lovely colors and use of fill flash. The trees in the front don't bother me at all, as it helps with the framing, but I'm having trouble with the noise dude!!

See my re-post with very little noise. Hope you like it!!

Hei Maxis,
The re-post looks much better,thank you. Did you use cs3 to remove the noise?

[Gus Cobos]

Very nice composition and image colors are great and exposure is dead on. Like the repost with less noise...:)

Hi Adams Sure was a treat at the Farm !!! Glad you didn't post a stork .... I don't think I want to see one for a long time !!!!

Love that soft yellow bg Excellent exposure and sharpness Would try cloning the grass merging with the bird !!! Didn't see the exp compensation? If you had to open up could account for the slight noise Your camera should produce very clean images at those settings !!!! I like it a lot !!!!

Hey Adam,

No. I use Noise Ninja for ALL my images.

Take care!

Alfred,
Thank you for the comments above.I was using manual exposure for most of the weekend.I have been looking at my images and i am seeing a lot of noise in most of them at iso 400, not sure why??

Adam,

Are you images well exposed?? or under exposed?? Remember noise is more visible in dark areas or well under exposed images.

[Adams Serra]

Maxis,
All the images that show noise are well exposed.

Lovely capture with a killer BG. Agree with above comments. Thanks for sharing.

Hard to imagine that a Mark III is producing visible noise at ISO 400 in a properly exposed image. I'd be interested in seeing the RAW file from this photo if you'd be willing to send it to me. I'll PM you my email address.

[Shawn Marques]

Wow. The noise did not show up on my older Apple laptop screen, but it sure does on my Eizo monitor! The re-do is amazing.

Weird that amount of noise on the MKIII.. Sweet comp on this guy, wonder if it was EMI from all all the equipment on the boardwalk ;)

BTW... I was like the tripod foot collector, I found 4 more besides yours !

Nice meeting you !

Nic ewportrait. Noise removal definitely improves th eimage and I would consider going a bit brighter too?
