Paul I like the pose of the Little black cormorant and is a nice image as well.
Are the level a bit out or need a bit of adjustment with the curves?
I think that there are more details in the plumage with a bit of more PP or perhaps is my laptop.

The level may be out slightly but i hadn't noticed,your photographic eyes are probably way better than mine.Are you lining it up with the ripples in the background?
I haven't really got into PP(wife has it on her laptop) yet,but did lighten it slightly in iPhoto,my computer is a mac.Couldn't get it any better with any of the other settings.
Thanks for your help.:)
Going to register on Feathers and Photos soon so can pick up a few more tips.:)
Generally I ignore the BG and concentrate on the bird. My first appreciation are on the beak and eyes and then look at the plumage.Quote:

I am sure that you are going able to "pop-up" this image without any problem.
Have a look THIS image so you can see what I mean regarding the plumage.
I do my PP using PSCS5 which give you good control of the image.
Feathers and Photos is excellent and people there are not arrogant like in other avian forums.
You looking at me?

What a beautiful bird and the first is an excellent shot.
I have to have one of them in my collection.
I only have half a dozen good bird shots. Birds are a great subject for learning.

I agree with you and you are doing very well. The reds on the parrots are very easy to "burn" if the exposure it is not spot on.Quote:

1) Sharp beak and eyes
2)Spark of light on the eye other ways they look like an empty socket
3) Good head turn so an eye and the beak are well exposed.
4) Overall sharpens of the bird.
Found a couple of old images
Enjoy
