Post your best bird shots!

I haven't been to the nest for more than 10 days....the owlet has grown quite a bit and is doing some exploring of it's nest. The adult wasn't there when I arrived at the site, but appeared while I was setting up....missed that photo op. [8o|]

I'm noticing the pic isn't as sharp or rich as my orig....I use the "insert image" on the tool bar. Here's the same shot posted on flickr; http://www.flickr.com/photos/29409592@N03/5706820723/in/photostream/lightbox/


Does anybody have thoughts why transferring my pic to this site in this manner would degrade the photo?


Quite a few nice pix added since I've been gone....nice captures folks.


Denise....I see you have your HBs....nice job. And I also noticed you have the same feeder as me....you may or may not want to do this; I blocked 2 ports to better predict which port they'd use and removed the perch to ensure getting flight shots. Just an fyi. Also, really like the your male GF.


Thanks for looking

Hi Bill -


Awesome owl photo, Bill! My photos take somewhat of a hit too that I load here. Other contributers photos look so superb that I can only imagine how breathtaking the original must be!


The hb above was actually seen at a nearby park. So, last night I put out my hb feeders in my yard and will make some alterations as you suggest! I also put out some oranges and grape jelly in hopes of attracting orioles. I have never seen any other than in photos. But this morning when I woke up, to my surprise there was already a male and female eating the oranges!!! It was a dark dreary morning but I can

Nice set from you Denise, you definitely got your mojo back. Your dreary day series have all been sharp, well composed and inspiring.


Great persistance with the owls Bill you better watch that they don

Denise, Steve & Bob....thanks for the kind words and appreciating my "obsession" w/the GHO.

Denise; purchased an Oriole feeder today....oranges and jelly. I didn't go w/the nectar....I do enough cooking for the hummingbirds. []


Thanks for looking

Another great shot, Bill! Keep them coming, I'm starting to look forward to the daily updates on the little one!


Most of you probably know that I am new to Lightroom and and photoshop. Please let me know what you think of these two shots themselves taken very early this morning and the ppthat I did inLightroom. Not sure if the added vignetting is a plus or minus. I have not had any time yet to read up on using the programs so I'm not real sure if I am applying sharpness, noise reduction and contrast correctly.










Thanks,


Denise

I really like your current posts Denise. The top one is my favourite, I love the vibrancy of the colours, composition and the blurred bachground.


Can you use Photoshop or Lightroom just to flip the bird around so we can see his chest? They have content aware filters don
