    Hi Volkan, have you done any cloning or extended the canvas on the LHS, plus there seems to be background colour overlapping the perch??? Ill be back later.

    Hi Volkan, I'm assuming that's a yes?

    When the habitat is as busy as this, leave it, IMHO you do more harm than good and you should declare the change in your intro, but the giveaway was the additional claw and perch. The original looks better in terms of the Blacks and overall definition, the OP appears to be lifted in the blacks and the WB needs a slight tweak. As I mentioned on the last post, in conditions like this shoot around ISO800 your SS will be higher and the faster SS will aid the IQ, especially with such a fast lens.

    thank you Steve, I've never used sea bass. I saw here that it is normal to use sea bass. I will not shoot like this again :) Your suggestions have been noted.

    I think there is something wrong in the translation Volkan, - ‘sea bass’ is a fish, great to eat, but unclear on its usage within photography.

    The bird looks great, I think you did an outstanding job cleaning up the BG

    A pretty good job of cleaning up the background...having said that, it's pretty obvious that it's not natural bokeh. If these are as common as the chickadees in my area, I would more time finding a spot with a clean background and less time in Photoshop.

    the bird is nice but the BG looks very unnatural from here. Blurring a busy BG never works and this is no exception, I'd delete this one and re do with a better BG :)

    Beautiful bird and light but not worth the effort for me. Compare the edges of the breast in the two photos ...

    Reverse translating "sea bass" gives levrek in Turkish, which when translated back into English can also mean "perch" . Perch can also be a fish. Gotta love language!! I agree with the critiques above. AT a minimum, exercises like this are learning opportunities in how processing tools work well or not.

    Dan C, you took it to another level - ‘Perch’ fantastic, you can see how easily things can get confusing, but when you stand back… it makes sense.

    Volkan, well man, other than the perch I would have never known you cleaned it up like that. You did a mighty amount of work haha.

    For me, the image feels flat and a touch dark. I think you could make it pop a little more but the sharpness is there.

    Well done all things considered :-)
