Colour and Texture - Look at the Harlequins...

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

H Everyone!
This is tonight's offering for the colour and texture assignment. I took this back in April whilst in Costa Rica with Doug, Greg and the gang. It is a detail of a macaw wing. Look forward to your thoughts...:D

Another fine Nicki creation - love the colours and the patterns.
For my personal tastes - a little more DOF.
Good show..... Nice to see you back ;)

Love feather close ups, colors are as important as shades. Might only had a little more yellow showing? Beautiful image !!!

Nicely done Niki,
I like the fine sharp details and the pano crop. The colors are superb...well done...looking forward to more...:cool:

I always love the details in bird feather so I like this close up very much, you also have nice color to boost. Wish that the left part is as sharp as the right, maybe more DOF like Lance suggested would help. The pano crop works well too. By the way, the thumbnail didn't this give image a justice.

Nicki, I agree with the DOF, but the patterns are fabulous as well as the diagonals... I love the pano and the colors are fabulous.

Hi guys and thank you for your comments - much appreciated! Had I realised that I was going to crop like this I would definitely have used more DOF - I'll know next time!!!
Best,
Nicki
