    Default Turkey feathers

    Found this in the aviary at the Virginia Aquarium and Science Center. It is a facility for rescuing birds who are injured and can no longer function in the wild. I fell in love with the colors, the sheen, and texture of his feathers. As a fly-tier, I have been using turkey feathers for a long time, but "living" feathers are truly amazing!!

    The bird is spectacular in lots of different ways; I am posting a "portrait" in the "Eager to learn" section.

    Olympus SP-570UZ, 92mm zoom. ISO 64, f/4.5, 1/80sec. Cloudy, gray skies, natural light only. Minimal cropping in PSE7, saturation, contrast, sharpness, fill light adjustments.

    Thank you for looking, and comments always welcome!

    Hi Massimo,
    I like the pattern and texture in the feathers...you have good color rendition, but the image is a tad under exposed; you need to open up the mid-tones and selective sharpen along the edges of the feathers only...look at the comments I posted on your recent post in the ETL forum...good show...looking forward to your next one...:cool:

    Massimo:

    I was taken by the texture and composition.

    A tad too dark for me but, I still like the image.

    Thanks for sharing.

    I agree with Gus...just a bit more light in the mid and low tones and you'll be there. I do like your choice of composition...nicely done!

    Hey Massimo, Very cool comp and excellent color combination. I don't mind it dark, I like dark moody images.
