About the Image(s)

Another photo of my birds of the Serengeti and wish I could identify these ones! They look so pretty with their ruffled neck feathers. Taken towards sunset I think
as they were bathing in the warm sunshine while we went by in our vehicle. Shot with my Canon 5D Mark IV 1/125 F5.6 ISO100. Put into Topaz Denoise and lighten the image by moving the sliders
in LR. Cropped in also.

You peeked my curiosity in what this bird is so I went on a Google search. I think it is a D'Arnaud's Barbet. Look it up and see what you think. Wikipedia has a nice picture of it. Anyway, I think you captured a nice composition of this pair. Great catch light in the eye and they seem intent on something in the distance. I like that the top bird has his tail flicked up as it adds interest. I think you could lighten the overall picture just a little as it seems a bit dull. I think cropping a little more off the top would put more emphasis on the birds. A great find and capture.   Posted: 02/06/2025 01:18:05

"What she said!" :) I agree with Pamela and also looked the bird up and she nailed the ID. Great composition but agree that the image is slightly underexposed.   Posted: 02/06/2025 10:49:41
