SO cute

[Carl Walker]

This one flew to a few to a perch just to the right of my front wheel so It is angled just above him, almost FF

1D MK IV - 300mm F2.8 - plus 2 x extender MK III - HH

Manual - ISO 4000 - f11 - 1/1250 sec - 0 ev

ISO was high as I had been trying to get them in DOF at 1/3200 sec, hence the F11. I have had some good success and been able to find ways to get some decent BIF shots without having to rely on luck (although it still is I guess)

They have been catching big cicadas lately and hope to show those soon.

LR5 basics
PSE 9 - LM's- layer adjustments - cloned a spike on branch and some work below perch

Hi Carl, the colours look oh so much better than the previous one, nice rich and vibrant. Perhaps a little big in frame for my tastes, but… Very good for ISO4000, seems Artie is dropping to f/8, you could try it and same some ISO, albeit a little?

Find your 'paw' print a little distracting, I might reduce it.

HI Carl the colours look spot on to me and I like that prickly perch bird looks sharp and the BG is ok apart from maybe that dark patch under the bird but that is being a bit picky ,very good looking image.
Hoping to get a trip to the Gambia in the new year to try For these.

Little bit large in frame but still a nice image . Might even take a tight head/chest area crop. The oof tail is a bit eye catching ,but no real crisis.
That,s just my pesonal opinion.(which can be out of the box occasionally)

Cheers

I may get to see these shortly but zoo job I reckon.

So cute indeed. I like the light, excellent details & HA. I would suggest to clone that OOF bright stem behind the tail.

Hi Carl, I like how the BE is looking along the line of the perch, colours look good, and a great eye. DOF on the body is fine.
