Noisy Miner

[Colin Driscoll]

If nothing much to shoot there are always these pesky birds.
I've posted a few over time and this one is a close portrait.

Hi Colin ...nice side profile of this noisy fella .
Like the clean BG still showing some tonal / color variations .
Boxy crop not my favor but nothing wrong with it .
Tones are looking good , just the sharpening and colors are looking bit " off " !!! Check the eye .... it is not glassy smooth as it should be , at least from my side .

I bet Topaz was in use .....

Bet it wasn't :)

Yes well they are everywhere but are very attractive up close and this one is just that ..Not quite sure about the light up on the RHS as it slightly takes my eye off the subject. Could you you knock that down a bit perhaps.

Good ... any idea where the grain is coming coming from ?? At Iso 800.

Hi Colin, you have captured some good finer plumage detail, and I like the colour of the BG.

[Paul Burdett]

Looks good to me Colin. Colours look correct too. Plenty of these in my garden. Can't see the grain, but maybe a little over sharpened?
