    Default Is the BG Too Distracting?

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Canon 5D

    ISO 320
    1/500 sec. at f/5.6

    This image is from Wako, the birds are shot from a fairly close distance-which I didn't know on my first visit. I realized afterwards I should have had my 500 lens on the 50D and my 100-400 on my 40D ,given the crop factor.But live and learn. also are the blurred wings a problem?

    Lady Denise,
    The background is fine, I like the blurred wings; it shows movement and forward flight motion...The color hues seem to be slightly flat on my screen, but yet again, I'm on my laptop now...:cool:

    Gus, I think you're right about the color -see if this is better.

    Very nice capture, Denise and I'm often surprised what a difference a small tweak can make! I like the repost.

    Just what was needed a bit of color pop!

    Densie..Confused with your camera info..You are saying 5D (techs) and then go to 50&40D?

    Really nice, Denise! I think you can squeeze a little more pop out of the subject. Try setting the white point on the white area just behind the eye. I used 250.250.250. Also tried dimming the background with a curves adjustment layer (by flattening the curve considerably).
