More play with the Tokina 12-24mm, this is was combination of HDR and infra red conversion in CS3. The wren is on the bush, have to squeeze it passed the moderators :biggrin: .

Cheers now

Hi Tim,
I think the spider in the wrens beak makes the picture :biggrin: :biggrin:

Cheers

Hi Tim - think the feathers on the wren are a bit soft :wink: The background is really good though :smile:

Where ever the wren is, it is a belting shot. Bet you are pleased with this lens

Hi Tim,

Nice shot , I 'd clone out the wren as I don't think it adds to overall image :biggrin:

Regards

Andy... :smile:

Sure you didn't work for Hammer Films in a past life Tim? :biggrin:

If you can get hold of Nik Color Effects2 there's BW and color IR converters in there - greens go magenta - brilliant!

I really like the head turn and double catch-light in the wrens' left eye, superb job - well done mate :toast: :toast:


PS. you do realise that if MI6 peruse this board everyone who's subscribed to this thread will be flagged as subversive and a possible danger to the state :eek:

Tim,

Wren is a bit tight in the frame for me, but I love the background interest. :smile:

I never have much luck with images like this, well done.

What! You mean the church wasn't built by Wren :confused:...

Glad to see you're getting out and about - it's the only reason you're getting away with it :wink:... but don't push your luck too much Munsey - we are a Nature photo site after all :razz: :biggrin:

I like this one Tim :toast: :toast:

Looks like the ideal place/subject for the IR treatment, and maybe even some spooky shots

:eek:
