A couple of garden birds

[Davinor]

Hi Folks
I've been lurking a while, plucking up courage to post. So here we go, a couple of shots from the kitchen window.
Canon 300D, Canon 80-200 f4.5 lens

Comments and Critique more than welcome - but be gentle:D

Hi Davinor!


Welcome to the forum. Nice pics, the second one being my favorite.

I know - it was a case of grab the camera and get a shot before it disappeared

Hi David

Nice shots! Reminds me of looking out of my window. Blue tits are photogenic little blighters, aren't they.

Could perhaps do with just a touch of Photoshop work to really bring them out. Hope you don't mind, but I had a little go with one of them. Just upped the levels, added a bit of saturation (probably too much now, looking at it!) and used the Unsharp Mask at 300:0.3:0.

Not perfect, just a quick go to give you an idea. Would work far better on a lesser compressed jpeg obviously.
