Blue in the berries + repost
This one is from this morning. After opening in Capture NX I adjusted the WB just a bit. Then opened the file in CS3 and resized.
Smart sharpen set to 121/0,3 and that's it.
The only thing I have set in-camera is active D-lighting on 'normal' It gives very good results.
Hope you like it.

Hi a nice image could do with a little more contrast for me to give it a little more punch. I don't know if you've tried Bibble pro but they have a testers version out free to download and use for 30 days.

Very, very nice image - the head-on view just makes him (her?) look cross; great perch and BG too.

Lovely image of a common species-lots to look at, with the bird,berries and lichen-very nice indeed-may be inclined to clip the lichen on the far left off but a small nit

On odd occasions I hold a sheet of paper up to the screen and blank bits off, its all a matter of personal taste but that bit on the left seems better out of the way.
The combination of red berries, green in the Lichens and then the colour of the bird all go really well together. Very nive Edwin :toast:

OK, there might be a slight chance that you are right about the left part :biggrin:
So here a repost with a bit more contrast.

Lovely, great perch and the catchlight really adds a sparkle.
