ASSIGNMENT SOC - Rainbow Lorikeet
It's Good Friday morning 10am in Sydney now as I post and I captured this in my frontyard about 90 minutes ago. Just opened straight into CS3 via ACR and no adjustments made other than my BPN vert. action and saved as jpeg.

Happy Easter BPN friends. :)

Akos,
This is beautiful...I love the colors and the look on the birds face, I like the upside down vertical peek-a-boo pose...I'm going to give you a get out of jail pass for the tail...:D:cool:
Gracias Gus! I was spewing about the tail. I would have had to stand quite a bit further back, it is that long. Thanks for the pass! ;)
Liked the image so much didn't even noticed the tail !!!
Best example I've seen in a while of having a busy bg and making it work !!! Love this image !!! Big Congrats !!!
Beautiful Ákos! Outside your kitchen window, eh? I'm as green as that bird... Lovely colors, pose, and composition. A bit of sharpening and this one's a winner. Congrats on the "get out of jail free" pass too!
Oh my, just great SOC and extraordinary bird...
Congrats!
Beautiful Akos, You should have done what Fabs did for a very long composition-Do you remember her post in Avian,if not it was fairly recent you'll be able to find it. Gorgeous, gorgeous image!! Great details!!
Stunning..What tail?:D Just stunning Akos
Hi and thanks for the honest critiques. I do really miss the tail. :( However, just a slight levels, Linear curve and saturation adjustment and minimal crop did this. :) Only did slight NR in ACR before converting to a tiff file.
Just lovely but HAH! I found something that actually bugs me..The tail doesn't but the stick coming out from under the chin does. Still stunning.
Not sure which colours are most accurate, but this is stunning either way! Lovely sharpness, would have love the tail in. Maybe a pano if the bird doesn't move (Not a reality probably:)). The first thing I noticed was the twigs from the chin too. Well done Akos.
I tidied up the chin growth. :) Jackie, they are very very colorful. I don't think I overdid the sat as I only pushed it up by 8 points in the master channel in this one. The previous was about the same but I think I darkened the midtones slightly while adjusting the levels.
Thanks for all critique! :)
I think I like the mid tones just a bit darker...Nag, nag nag
I agree with you. I saw the first repost and when compared my recent one I wanted to puke at that. LOL! :) THanks, no nag at all. We are all here to share and learn and suggest.... :cool:Originally Posted by Nonda Surratt
Hi Akos - fun guys aren't they - always seem to be co-operative as well. God job (Except for the Tail).
