Taken at Lodmoor RSPB some time ago. I've viewed this on 3 different monitors with different results in terms of saturation and contrast. It looks fine on my setup so hopefully not too bad on everyone elses?
Please comment honestly.

The saturation and contrast seem excessive on my screen but easily adjusted,The birds and nicely positioned to each other and the pano works well

Hi Rob
Cute shot and I like the pano - but your contrast is a tad high and the reds look far too saturated. I think your next buy should be a monitor calibration device - well worth the money!

Hi Rob
An excellent composition, you have caught the parent and cootlet (!) nicely together here. Also a good exposure to good detail in the black without losing the whites completely on the coots beak.
Yes I agree the reds are maybe a tad too strong, contrast looks ok to me. I might try bringing up the contrast on the water though as it looks a bit washed out against the birds.
Nicely done though, well worth spending some time fine tuning as it is a very good shot.
cheers

Hello Rob
Nice composition, but looks a bit over saturated and too much contrast on my monitor.
Best wishes

Contrast and saturation as reported above. Many strong elements to the picture, but needs more interaction between the two birds. What are you trying to communicate?
