First time LR2

[Gus Hallgren]

Hi Folks: Looking for C&C's on my first post with a RAW done in Lightroom2, White-winged Dove ~ Tail needs more room, however, I was concentrating on minor exposure corrections. Bush cloned out of right bottom under tail. . . . Uncle Gus :D

Olympus E-520, Zuiko 70 -300 mm ED
AP, F/7.1, 1/1000s
200 ISO
-0.30 ev
Auto WB

560 mm focal length hand held (Sitting down)

Hi Gus Glad you are giving LR a try Will like it !!!

Bird is razor sharp and well exposed Do need more room and not only on the tail. Feels tight. For birds on the ground is best if you can get down at their level will change the perspective !!!

Hi Uncle Gus,
I like the composition, you show sharp details and good color rendition. Agree with Mr. Forns about the spacing in frame, and the lower capture angle...:cool:

Nice work Gus. I am also trying to use LR2 more and do less in PS. The new release is a great improvement.

I think the colours look true and vibrant. Wouldn't mind seeing the original shot to compare. I think you did a great job of PP here.

Great Lightroom work Gus. You got to let us know how it goes. Dove is very sharp and has excellent contrast.

Lovely Dove, Gus. Caught his blue eye ring and red feet perfectly. Well done.
