Re: Birds & Birds...
All very nice especially the Bush Warbler but also all would benefit from Black and White point adjustments if your editor is capable of that.

Re: Birds & Birds...
Hi Alok,
Although I'm usually partial to a bird of prey shot, I think the Bush Warbler is my favourite because I can see how smalls/he is and you got lots of detail.
Well done, Dave

Re: Birds & Birds...
Thanx a lot Nanda, John, John & Dave!
John, I am not good with PP. will explore how to carry out BW point adjustments. I use basics of CS5 & Canon's software for RAW.
Dave, I agree with preference towards Bird of Prey. However, lately I have started admiring the beauty of these tiny birds & the diversity they present.
Cheers...

Re: Birds & Birds...
A nice series Alok...but next time, instead of doing three load of posts, when you have uploaded the first one, instead of pressing Submit or Post Quick Reply, click on the Go Advanced button and then you can put your text again and upload another image by pressing the Click Here To Upload Photos From Your Computer...so you have two in one post...then you repeat the process of pressing Go Advanced again or Preview then you can upload another image...and so on and so forth.
Hope this helps...Last edited by Dave Humphries; 27th November 2015 at 09:11 AM. Reason: nothing (my error)

Re: Birds & Birds...
The last set of images is beautiful too
May be some sharpening would be better. The last image looks so pale, I think it was cropped too much, I would adjust black and white points to see how it works.

Re: Birds & Birds...
Alma, one thing to remember, if I may remind you, is to number your images and put your comment or bird ID beside the number so that when members want to comment on them, they do not have to scroll up and down just to remember what number belong to which image.
Good Alma...you are going on well. Keep it up. You'll get used to this in no time at all....I like all of your bird images in this batch apart from the last one...
Read Geoff F's respond to Rob Fellows here on a technique he uses to upload his images:
