About the Image(s)
I am very happy to have been invited to be part of this group.
I am a big lover of Nature, and my favorite subject is birds. I hope you enjoy my images as I will surely enjoy yours.
I shot this image in October 2020 with a Sony camera and 200-600 mm lens at 600 mm, F 6.3 and 1/400sec
I chose this image because I really like the texture effect of the background in combination with the attitude of the little chick demanding some food from one of its progenitors.
I’ve severely cropped to isolate the chick and the background. In edition I have enhanced the contrast and the sharpen of the image. A bit of vignetting has also applied.
This round’s discussion is now closed!

I also enjoy looking for birds that are displaying interesting behavior, and your image definitely creates an impact on the viewer. Your post processing effectively brought out the details of the little chick. The parallel line of the spread wing next to the diagonal line of the branch and the triangle that frames the bird are effective aspects of the composition. I agree with Isaac's cropping. I look forward to more of your images!   Posted: 08/05/2022 12:42:10
You timed this shot well, with your bird showing some attitude. Obviously if you want a story from the image, the two birds would have had to be closer, so this is where Isaac's crop and extra pp results I think, in a more interesting end result. This shows off more of its colours and the tighter crop gives more detail. Your Sony camera had enough pixel horsepower to leave a sharp image after an aggressive crop (and this is with the small files we have to use for internet use.   Posted: 08/28/2022 04:22:22
I agree that a tighter crop is working better
Looking forward to see your September's images   Posted: 08/28/2022 05:11:26
