Back at my favorite early morning Sahauro that is facing east. Trying for lower blossoms, but Poppa Gila wants the best for his hungry chicks poking their heads out of nest hole lower down, so I take what I can get :) . . . .Gus

Hi Gus You sure have lots of subjects perched on those flowers !!! Would try doing a double conversion normal/linear to bring out detail in the whites. I think it will make a difference.
I like the bold saturated colors but there will be some objections I'm sure. Cold back down just a bit. Pose wise would have like the bird with the head a little higher so the beak would have been in the clear !!! Another good one !!!!
Gus,
How great is that to have such beautiful birds to share your mornings. I like this one and I think I may be one of those who would like to see it with a little less saturation.
Thanks for posting,
Katie
Wow!!
I'm impressed! I think I would try to do another layer/mask in CS3 so I could play with the exposure on the flowers and darken them down quite a bit to see if any detail would come back.
I love the clear blue sky--I got some of that kind of sky last evening with the frost--straight out of Canada--burr --it was cold. (I live in Michigan).
A little to bold for my taste and the whites hot as mentioned there is also some leftovers from cloning in the lower right hand corner that needs a little more attention and maybe a noise reduction on the blue sky
Hi Folks: Thanks for looking at my photo and all your right on suggestions. One of those tough shots for me, about 35' up and a sharp angle, definitely should have used a tripod, and wholeheartedly agree with all your comments. Should have been more selective in photo I used. . . . Learning slowly but surely with all your great help. Al, will pick up a polarizer this week. . . . . Onward . . . Gus :D
