Here are a couple of recent images taken locally on the Sunshine Coast for the bird freaks. Have you ever noticed how hard it is to get ducks to smile? Please let me know what your opinions are. Different folks make for different views

I like to framing of the first but wondered how it would look if the contrast hasd a small bump :?:

Yes, you are right here. This is the first one uploaded to the forum and I think it needs a hit with levels after viewing it myself. A bit more drama in there. I will watch this in future uploads. My monitor is calibrated to my Epson 7800 printer, not the web so much.
Thanks for the mention.

Love the detail in the first image but it needs a play with levels and curves to bring the bird out more.

The first is quite nice, but the reeds near the birds face detract from the image (a little too cluttered). The white ducks in #2 look a little blown to me?

Yeah but I bet thier both smiling in the second one :roll:

Yeah guys, the uploads are coming online paler than original, I will have to watch that in future, but thanks for the feedback. The first one will receive a bit more attention soon. I suffer from the old "So much to do & so little time" syndrome

Best wishes to all
