Eastern Bluebird In Backyard

[Don Ferguson Jr.]

The bluebirds had a nest in our backyard and was able to get close enough in late evening with 400 5.6 to capture. They almost feed too late.Little noise I took out with noiseware comm version.
Comments please .

I think the noise removal settings were too high - it has removed the entire image!! ;-)

Seriously, the image isn't showing at all. A problem with the link?

Looking forward to seeing it.

[Edit] Ah, now it's showing. Not sure what the problem was before. Cute little guy! Looks like nesting material in its beak? Pleasing composition. Nice colors.

In terms of constructive criticism, it looks just a tad washed out, with some areas a bit too bright. I might play with levels and/or shadows/highlights to tweak these a little, and bring out more of what is contained in the image.

Nice work!

Thanks Don I appreciate the comments . Hard to get them even with 400 5.6 .
Yea that white is back of neighbors back porch area . In LR it was not clipped ,strong contrast but I agree I wish it were more uniform .Maybe I should make it little darker . Never can get web pics right Sharpened little more better?
Your Lake Marion photos were interesting and very nice .I have been in the Sparkleberry Swamp duck hunting a few times Seen ospreys a lot and did not have a camera.
Beat regards
