72 Jun 22 Comment Bruce, this is a great capture of a lovely bird. I love it when a background is colour sympathetic to the animal and this is a great example. Isaac's modifications do help to make your bird 'pop' more. A lovely image Bruce. Jun 23rd
72 Jun 22 Comment Randy you're so lucky to have beautiful birds like this to 'play with'. A nice action shot. The situation is very bright and contrasty, so Isaac's work on the background helps. Lightroom is helping to do this type of adjustment easier, although I haven't used yet the very latest updates.
Nice image. 		Jun 23rd
72 Jun 22 Comment Mary. A well taken shot. I too prefer looking at your original shot as it tells be so much more. I'm sure I would have cropped heavily too , but the earlier comments I think are right. I've learnt something - again! Jun 23rd
72 Jun 22 Comment Barbara, to answer your "inclusion of man made items" first - No Nature Plus is really very wide and anything goes. Some of us (me included) tend to concentrate on taking images with a story (thus not generally a portrait) for entering to exhibitions or comps, with portraits kept for personal reminders.

Your egret shows character and the dull day helped to allow you to show good feather detail. But the band across the top half of the picture is too distracting.		 Jun 23rd
72 Jun 22 Comment These woodpeckers have so much character! I saw a few earlier in the year when in Costa Rica. I suspect you should have concentrated on the lack of focus (motion or other type) rather than any noise. As Randy has said A1 Sharpen is very good. But concentrating of Noise first may harm the attempt to get the image truly sharp. Jun 23rd
72 Jun 22 Comment What an experience Isaac! And great capture including the extra one when it was repositioning itself. The snakes eyes looking directly at the viewer makes the image. Thank you for sharing. Jun 23rd
72 Jun 22 Reply Thanks Barbara. I don't think flash helps: the birds were couple hundred yards away with very contrasty light all over. Jun 15th
72 Jun 22 Reply That is likely to be in the (very) wet season! Best months are normally Jan/Feb. Jun 10th
72 Jun 22 Reply Thanks Isaac - appreciate your comments and we love CR, enjoying so much the special environments in such a compact area, but yes, the photography can be frustrating.

To add to the story, here is the female (taken at the same session and in v poor light, so 6,400 ISO and I cropped this heavily) - but nevertheless it shows as a record shot the relative size.		 Jun 7th
