Great shot- I am so jealous, we have no Birdworlds here!Carol Sherman May 26, 2019
Absolutely marvelous, I've only read about them. #26737Mark Oxley May 26, 2019
Thank you all for your kind words. I nearly deleted this image as the framing, exposure and background were all wrong. I put it through PS and adjusting the contrast, colour saturation and a little bit of croping and bluring of the background has completely transformed the final image. After resizing I always run my images through the unsharp mask as a finishing touch. #26743Gary H. Minish May 26, 2019
Excellent shot, Mark! I'm glad you rescued it ;-) #26814Cathy M. Gromball May 26, 2019
