Wow, it's going to be hard for you to top this one Nevil! These birds really pop against the dark BG. I agree with Eleanor about cloing out the lower branches though. Welcome to NSN and please keep posting images of these beautiful birds! 8)

Sweet shot and welcome to NSN, Nevil. This is a great comp; I would expect that if you're hanging with Ofer. I love the opposing views.

On my monitor it comes across as a little contrasty. I did a slight curves adjustment to add a touch of light. My monitor is calibrated, but anyone let me know if the repost looks 'bright'. I want to make sure it's right.

Hi Wayne, the repost doesn't look bright and I guess to choose between it and the original is really a matter of personal taste as they both look good. :wink:

Wayne,
The repost looks a little bright and washed out on my CRT mon. I thought the original as posted was great in terms of brightness, contrast and color ... :wink:
