Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

I've been inspired by Pa's bird shots to go back and reprocess some i took a while ago...although this seemed to have more colour in the PSD version?

What do people think, try for more saturation?

Pa, you get up way too early :shock: :shock:

casnell,

very nice king parrot, not sure that you need more saturation. A bit of cloning however would help. Did you take this through glass or was there rain drops on your lens? I see a few drops and streaks that are a bit distracting.

Cheers,

André

It was raining fairly heavily, they're raindrop streaks. I left them cos it kind of adds to the effect for me, you think lose them?

And no, Pa, no feeder, we just put wild bird put seed out on the railing on a saucer. The house is at Kennet River down past Lorne. We've had up to 18 at one time, lots of noise!

Cheers, Chris

In the end, you are the photog, so if you like them in there, that's fine it's just that for me, I would remove them. :D :D
