Post Your Best Nature Shots!

[Sinh Nhut Nguyen]

Madison, I should have asked "If you want the original file I can send it to you so you can see what I did with it." I apologizel for sounding rude[], yeah the image does look like flash was used. The reason for that is that I stoodabout 8ft abovethe heron, and the heron was about 2 ft above the water, the 5pm sun was behind us and at the angle that could only light up the bird. 20 minutes later the bird was also in the shadow because the sun went lower.


I'm Vietnamese. [] Sinh-Nhut means birthday, Sinh means birth, Nhut means dayand Nguyen is my last name. I was born on Christmas' Eve, one day before Christ's birthday, hence the name.


Very nice shot of(if I'm correct) a yellow-crowned night heron, I like the way you cropped it.


ChileHead, very nice macro shot, I would like the see the whole head in focus.

Thanks for explaining the meaning of your name. Your name , phonetically, means "birthday" in more than one asian language.


I've enjoyed looking at your wild bird pictures.

Sinh Nhut: thanks. What a great name to have. My name means nothing hahahaha. Consider yourself blessed. What a beautiful choice.





I don't know what bird it is. I know it's a heron. But it *could* also be a crane of sorts. I forgot to tag.

Hard to do at that range. Very limited depth of field and he's got a big head!

Sinh Nhut Nguyen, if not too hard, I'd like to see the original JPEG (before post processing) of this or any other of your pictures you've posted here. The reason is that, as I told you before, you have the most impressive photos over here and I'd really like to know how much post processing you use on your photos.
