    I am usually not a fan of desaturation, but maybe on this guy it works....

    Nice shot...I think monochrome is perfect for a vulture picture!

    Joel,

    Didn't you post a go-by instruction on how you PP your birds?
    If so could you provide a link?

    Thanks

    Perhaps you could pitch your photos directly to these types of bird websites, or better yet to publishers of nature books. They should jump at them, I'd say. Not that I know anything about publishing, but I definitely know that your bird photos are the best I've seen, in or out of books.

    I did a sort of primer on my set up and techniques. I think it's still in the tips section here on TDP. I have posted some PP workflow and tips in the forums but not a separate document. I'm glad to answer any questions too.

    Thanks. I may do a little research and see if I can find a way to do that

    Superb Fairy-wren

    This is one of my favourite, but all too elusive birds. It spends most of the year hiding in the undergrowth, trying not to be food for others. This time of the year it comes out to display for the ladies (who are very drab looking). Unfortunately, the weather was miserable so I didn't get to see it sparkle in the sunlight.

    ISO 640, 1/640, f6.3 @ 300mm

    Oh yes!!! Very nice detail and sharpness....looks like the microadjustment paid off nicely.
