Re: Post your best bird shots!
yeah, I sure do wish I could have retained some d-tail in that white patch. Nice edit, Joel, I'll work on it [:D]
One more:
I believe a ringbilled gull, f/7.1, 1/1000, ISO 400. Manual, handheld.

C&C welcome

Re: Post your best bird shots!
Hey Joel,
I edited your picture, I felt that it need a little "digital snap" so to speak. Hope you like it.

Re: Post your best bird shots!
John....what PP did you perform on Joel's capture?
Re: Post your best bird shots!
To be honest John, I think you over-saturate your pictures sometimes. I like the original more, but that's my personal idea of it.

Re: Post your best bird shots!
I just used DDP to add levels and tone curve with a small amount of saturation increase. Yeah I think I went overboard with the saturation on the goose shot. I think I will tone down the saturation on alot of my shots. Something closer to what Joel's images is like, after I edited it. I think the original image was not quite true to life contrast or saturation. But mine is slightly more contrasty and saturatedthan real life, just the way I like it....[:$]

I agree that his pics are often over-saturated for most people's liking, however I *love* what he did to Joel's hawk. He really brought out the colors without going overboard.
Re: Post your best bird shots!
I think the saturation is just John's style. Oh well I love that goose John. It's a Greylag Goose, right?
Anywho, one more from me. Hope nobody minds, I realize I've kinda hijacked this thread with my photos. WAIT it's my own thread....[:|]
Mallard, 7D + 300 f/4L IS USM @ f9, 1/320, ISO 640. Manual Exposure, Handheld. (I believe thats the correct EXIF, i'll check)

Re: Post your best bird shots!
Just wanted to add to the thread, not really reply or quote? So we'll see how this goes (formats).
Don't usually photograph Gulls, too easy - but this one was just so close I could not resist and I wanted to TEST post anyway:
