Female Yellow Headed Black Bird 2

[Krishna Prasad kotti]

This image was taken at Provo Bay, Utah Lake, UT Image taken just after sunrise, with sun behind Mountains.


This second image, I think this has better head angle than previous one. Also this was a stop brighter than previous one leading to lesser noise.

ISO 1600, f/5.6, 1/500 sec
Manual Mode, Matrix Metering

Noise Reduction Neat Image
Sharpening Affinity Photo

I removed small distracting element in top right hand corner.

Hope you like it.

Thanks

This fella had his eyes on you! I love the image design and overall concept. I do feel the colours are off - not warm enough, and the greens of the grass blades are not of the correct hue. Ahh now I see...when I opened your image in PS it was still set to adobe RGB so it is showing warmer from there. You should convert to sRGB for posting on the web as this won't skew the colours.

Very nice. Like the framing of the bird within those grasses. The direct stare is nice as well.

Hi Dan,

Thank you for the comment. I did not understand the same. I opened the image in different monitors, everything look good.

can you explain a bit more what needs to be done ?

Thanks
Krishna

Krishna: Nice image indeed. I agree with Daniel that the color of the grass is disconcertingly bright and artificial-looking. Adobe RGB and sRGB are color spaces; they affect the color as it appears in a print and on the monitor. Daniel is asking you to choose "sRGB" for your color space, which just about any photo editor allows you to do.

Thank you all for the comments.

I never converted to sRGB before uploading to Internet. So far I was posting all my images normally. I wonder how it is going to effect the colors now.

You will not see a difference, but we will - now we will see your image as you intend us to.

Thank you for the comments.

Reposting the image. ( Reprocessed it)

This time converted to sRGB and then exported it.

Hope this looks better

I like the bird in the grasses very much. It is a pretty scene but I believe the processing is way off. The photo has a strong yellow cast, the colors of the grass are off and the bird does not look sharp.
