Forest Kingfisher

Gallery: AvianPosted November 25, 201385 views3 comments

There were several comments on the lack of separation between the head and bg on my last post of this species. Looking at the series of images I took, I found one that had more light on the bg behind the bird, so I processed it. I also decided to try using a vertical format to de-emphasize the perch a bit.

7D, 500mm f4 ISL + 1.4TC, braced on vehicle window, f5.6, 1/1600, Av mode with no compensation, iso 500. Processed in CS6 and cropped to 5.1MP. Taken October 20th at 9:20 am.

Your comments and criticisms are most welcome.

Thanks for looking,

I like the vertical treatment better. I agree that it it de-emphasizes the perch. Nice color and detail and a cool bird.

Dennis perch is what they choose to sit on,the bird is a little cracker and that Bg makes it look even better.
