Sunday Morning at O'Reilly's

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.

Forum rules
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.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

I thought I'd share some of my attempts to capture the beautiful Bower birds of the Lamington National Park. C&C welcome (including any suggestions as to the best way to remove my husband's hairy arm!)

Good question! You spotted my not so deliberate error.
Is there any way to move or delete this post? :oops:

Lovely pics full of colour and vibrancy.

As to your husbands arm - go to Blockbuster and hire ”The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and I think you will have the answer :wink: :lol:

Decided not to use the Chainsaw after all.....used Photostudio instead. Does it work?

Hi Karen

Great pics and glad you picked up some hints on the Trekabout workshops you have been on.

Good job of cloning, too :D

Cheers

Nearly...you can see some sharp edges where you have "repaired" the foliage where the arm used to be. I don't know Photostudio at all, but if it has an option to soften the edges of the transplant it might be worth using.

I think you should still keep the chainsaw as an option though. :lol:

Some good shots there.

The edit pic without the arm reminds me of Predator in camo mode. Now just want to see the three red dots on the birds chest.
