    Default WEAVERS WITH NO MANNERS

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Captured those two belligerent individuals yesterday in my garden. The BG was not great so I played around a bit to see what effects I could achieve. Desaturated and added some filters to add more drama. It was great fun to process this, I hope you enjoy viewing ( the colour of the birds' plumage has been altered).

    Wishing you all a sunny Sunday,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Spectacular. The bkgd sets the birds apart so that the details stand out!

    Fantastic catch of the action with a great pose! You have both birds staring intently at each other, both with eyes visible and in focus, dramatic grasps of the feet, plus the out-stretched wing! Whatever you did to the bkgd it worked out very well, adding drama to the image.

    Gabriela, your original capture is stunning and I really like the way you worked the background - it seems to highlight the birds (who are being very naughty)

    Amazing sharpness. Love the eyes, the sharpness, and the BG!

    Really great action, and interaction. Underlying photo is very strong and whatever processing that you did was subtle and did not compete with the image. Can't think of any way this photo could be better!
