Yellow Hammer.
Nikon d200

Had a real job trying to get a perching shot of these lovely birds.

Hi Keith,

It's a nice shot. Perch could have been better, but the bird likes it! It does look a little dark to me, and could do with a bit more saturation and USM. Try +8 on saturation and 5 levels of USM at 100,0.1,0.

Regards

Rob

Hi Kieth
Is this one done in my garden on Friday ? I reckon I know the perch mate !
I agree it could do to be a tiny bit brighter, and we talked about this -(Bracketing !!!! )
I like it.
Cheers

Nice shot indeed, but I also think it is a little bit too dark.

a bit dark but a nice shot. I've also struggled in the past to get these on a decent perch!
