I See You. . . Again
Here's another picture of the bird I posted yesterday. I seemed quite happy with me getting as close as I did. Probably looking for hand-outs that I didn't have. :smile:

FinePix s6500fd
Built-in 28-300mm Lens
1/320
f5.6
ISO200
66.7mm
Manual
RAW

Cheers,

Payat

very nice setting and bird, how much saturation did you use for this? as the colours seem a little odd

Colours do look a little odd and it looks like it's a big crop or a bit oversharpened too.

Lovely setting and subject though.

Hi Payat,

I really like this shot! The composition is very nice along with the pose of the subject! However I do think the post-processing of this image could be improved, especially since you shot it in RAW!

Check out this link on sharpening! I think Jim did a grand job when he wrote this!

and also this link about general processing;

Hi guys,

Thanks for the comments. I'm not sure what happened with the colours. I think I may have hit Auto Level in PS when I meant to leave them alone. I also noticed that I left the in camera sharpening on too and then sharpened it again in PS. D'oh!!! :mad:

Paul, thanks for the links. They're going to be a big help.
