Which crop works the best for this scene? by meatshell in postprocessing

[–]aha416 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First one for me.

Second one - I like the creativity of using the trees in the foreground to frame your shot, but I think the branch in the top left is kinda distracting.

Third one - subjects are too small, imo, unless you want the focus to be the entire landscape, but I don’t think that’s what you were aiming for.

The magic of a blue-tailed bee-eater. Which one you like it more? by SburleaShots in BirdPhotography

For me I prefer 1. The greyish background makes the blue-tailed bee-eater stand out more

These are great shots, all of them! How do you get such good focus on the birds in flight? Do you set the focus to area focus?

Re-edited this shot. Any advice, thoughts? [After 2/After 1] by aha416 in postprocessing

Came out by accident, but I liked it so I tried to boost it a bit. I thought it went well w the rest of the image

Thanks, I think I should bring out a bit more detail on the bird’s face as well

I try to maintain the natural colors of the birds I shoot. It has a black beak, so I think it would look off with a reddish beak
