Turaco, Cormorant, and Macaw

[BJ Denning]

Glad that spring is finally in the air. I also wanted to start experimenting with the new Nik plug-ins. Here's a few from the weekend.

All good shots Bryan,

Good captures in difficult lighting.

If anything lets them down, I'd have to suggest it is the backgrounds, in all three shots, and foreground as well in #3.

However, I do appreciate there's probably little you could do about that given where they were shot (a zoo, I would guess).

Hope that was helpful,

Thanks Dave.

Yep shot in the local zoo. Good catch, I need to pay more attention to the stray bits.

Here's an update of the Cormorant. Trying to get better composition.
