THEME - Back to base

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

I captured this image of the Long-billed Corella almost a year ago after work on the way home. I loved the warm evening sunlight.
70% of full frame. I think some more NR would be good. :)

30D, 300mm f/4L IS USM, 1.4x, ISO800, f/5.6, 1/2500th.

Hi Akos - love the wings up pose and the golden light - Good HA and eye contact.
Might add a touch more sharpening to the bird and some NR on the background.
A little centered for my tastes - more room up front for him to fly in to would be good.

P.S Off to cairns in December.

Thanks Lance. I did the suggested changes. Do you like better? Cairns aye? Sounds good mate. You'll have oodles of fun there.

Hi Akos,
This is very fine capture...I love the repost with the adjusted enhancements...a sweet image, I love the raised wings and the sharp eye on your feathered friend...good show...looking forward to more...:cool:

Much better with the re post Akos Did well with the noise reduction since the feather detail did not change much, with that soft light it was minimal !!! Sweet capture !!!
