The flight sacred ibis

[Gianluca Molina]

I was undecided whether to enter this photograph ...


Many liked but I realize that is not the best quality.
E 'was built at the beginning of the passion for photography with a very economical equipment: Canon 350D and Sigma 70/300 DG


At the time I was photographing in RAW, JPG and only for processing I used an inexpensive program (Ulead Photo Express)


The image was obtained by summing a series of shots.

I tried to recover as much as possible with GIMP


We welcome comments and feedbacks :)

I like the idea and the overall effect. Some of the frames don't seem to be on the same axis (twisted a little) and there seem to be some smudges and artifacts, mostly around the wing tips.

Hi Gianluca, Neat idea!

I've moved your image to our "Out of the Box" forum which is the perfect place for an experimental image like this.

[Dennis Bishop]

I'm glad to see your image in this forum. The text adds to it, but I very much like the angle rising from left to right and the spacing of the ibises getting closer toward the top. If GIMP gives a way to do it, I'd suggest some additional space at the top and maybe the right. Thanks for posting this.

Dennis Bishop Can you explain what you mean? thanks

This is what I was thinking. (I'm sorry I lost part of your signature in the process.)

[Gianluca Molina]

No problem for signature

Hi, Gianluca, welcome to OOTB I think this is very creative and I like the diagonal placement and the different wing placement of some of the shots - it flows nicely. This is a great place to learn different techniques and we are all eager to help you learn anything that you want. I hope we see more of your images here.

[Gianluca Molina]

thanks Cheryl


I hope so too but the time is always short .... unfortunately.


However I have other interesting photographs that will insert short

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Welcome GianLuca! I like the flight sequence and the birds placed on the diagonal. The repost with more room at the top works well. Hope to see more posts:)

[Hazel Grant]

Yes, the repost is good. like the angles. Looking forward to more from you.

[Anita Bower]

The diagonal line of the birds is strong. A simple and effective image. Welcome to this forum.
