hey oscar. were you using the onboard flash of a speedlight? the flash looks a tad hot. i never used my onboard but i hear they can be harsh. maybe dial down the flash compensation a bit.
where are the pelican pics? i love the big, dumb, goofy birds!!
Hi Oscar,
Your bird is too hot... You need to dial down your speedlight... also the bird is looking away from you. I would be better if his head were turned more towards you. Placement of bird on frame is good...
Hey Oscar,
I retouched a little increased the color hue, increased the contrast, sharpened, and elimenated both blades of grass...:) I left the rest up to you. You still need to work on the background...:D
Gus, once again thank you. But remember, all the things that you are doing and asking me to do to my pictures, I can not yet do in ps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hopefully I'll start to get better as I go along. In the mean time, keep fixing them for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks
hey oscar, just dive in!!! as long as you are shooting in RAW, you cant mess up the pic. you can always revert back to the original file!! good luck with the learning curve. i'm sure it will be fun!!
Oh man you guys are killing that bird .............. if you post him a few more times Sibbley would not recognizing him as a Green Hereon :D:)
Got rid of the cast and cropped some from bottom !!! I like the classic pose but I feel you need a cleaner bg With these guys this is what you normally get Was he just past the boardwalk turning left? Oscar birds with clean bg are very difficult to find and btw the HAD police will get you for this one !!! :cool:
