Shot a few years ago at Wako in Florida. Pretty birds that can be difficult to get a clean shot at. They are usually walking around pads in areas of high vegetation. I took out a bit of vegetation in the backround.
Nikon D300,500mm,F8,1/1250, 0 comp,ISO 800,tripod mtd.
Hi Dave these birds are difficult to get in the open for ceratain but can put on a show at times .... just need to be lucky !!! :)
Somehting odd about the processing regarding colors and bg There is noise and checking the legs the yellows don't look the right yellow? The feathers caught my eye also but they vary enough that it could be the bird !!
HI Dave - Come over and see me - we have them pretty much everywhere, so much so that I neglect to take any shots of them - been raining a lot lately and they have been on my front lawn - geez youd think id get out there and take a shot wouldn't you.
Can be very pretty colours in the right light.- agree with AL something looks a little outta whack.
Hi Lance, OK if I set up on the lawn? This is has been sitting in my computer for years and I came across it recently. Easy to rid the noise and will see how different this is compared other I've shot the same day...
Nice shot. I agree with all above and would like to add that it is pretty obvious where you took the vegetation out in your PP. Another few passes with cloning BUT with little opacity might have help.
Hi, Just above the greenary that is there on the left up to about mid way of his chest, I can see stroke of cloning or whatever process you used. It also is located jus below the tail section of the picture. Just my views on my monitor, I could be wrong.
