    I managed to visit Gatorland for couple of hours in between
    visits of Disneyworld two weeks ago. The place is great,
    excellent collection of species.

    Nikon D700 300mm+TC14 f/5.6 1/1250 AP-1/3 ISO400
    CC appreciated.

    Ilija:

    Great sharpness, breeding colors, details. I like the comp.

    I thought I could tease a bit more detail out of the birds feathers, so ran a multiply selection on it. To my eye it gives a bit more snap to the colors and details.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks Randy, I like what you did.
    I never use multiply, need to remember this one.

    Ilija:

    I overdid the effect, to be sure it was visible. Somewhere in between the two would be about right, IMO.

    Cheers

    Ilija, I really like the pose and sharp details. Nice exposure and the green BG is very nice. I think that Gatorland has such a nice collection of birds and the breeding colors are fantastic as you have shown here.

    Thank you Randy, Denise and Troy.

    Sorry for late response, the server was too slow today.
    Now it seems to be better.

    Both versions look good. Great portrait shot, Ilija.
