lance, that's just awesome!! i would add a touch of contrast and try to tone down the sky on the left side. other than that, it's a wonderful image. two beautiful birds!!

Hi Harold - thanks - I will give your suggestions a try.

Hi Lance!

Way too cute, very pretty and colorful! My suggestion, from my screen, is that they appear slightly soft. I suggest trying to increase DOF ... to see if crispness of both bird's head & body could be improved. I would also try increasing the shutter speed, as maybe the right bird may have shaken his feathers a bit. I like the curious eye contact.

Hi Lance I like the suggestions !!! Regarding the dof with these guys not all that far and both needing to be in focus you really need to stop down. I was doing some today and tried staying at around f 11 most of the time !!!

[Lance Peters]

Sharpened a bit more - toned down the sky.

Hi Alfred - caught without a tripod and very overcast day, Could have gone higher ISO to get better DOF.

new tripod coming in the next couple of days - woooo hooooooo

Thanks

Lance,

Good job and the fix, lovely birds, flat out neat actually!!! I think sharpening them up a bit helped quite a bit.
