A very nice image Ian, with a lovely complimentary b/g.

Nice work Ian, however I think it has a bit of a colour cast across it. I tried adjusting the colour balance for mid-tones, yellow-blue by about +25-30.. It gave the bird a little more definition and for me lifts it a little. Just a suggestion but all subjective.

Kind regards

A lovely Robin, nice background too.

Robin looks fine to me, great background and a classic pose. A bit large in the frame for me, but that is just personal taste.

Good clean shot which would have been better with the head turn.

A 'classic' - love them when they are puffed out!

Thanks all :toast:

John is this enough of a head turn ?

I much prefer the second one Ian. Nice head turn and seems to pop a lot more than the first. :wavey:
Posted by Fran French on December 1, 2009 at 1:29 PM
Yes, like Maggie I prefer the repost, it does have more punch. Glad I popped back :smile:

I prefer the first, but I might prefer the second with a portrait crop! Both very good though.

Second I think, portrait would be worth a try. Card ?

The second image is the better of the two, super detail and BG, like it lots Ian.

Hello Ian .

Two lovely robin pictures, I like the first one best but find the second one slightly processed better which makes it look better. The first one just looks abit flat and needs to be lifted a little.
