Second birding outing

This birding thing is getting quite addictive. Had another ride along to my local WWT center today and managed to grab a few more shots in the wild areas. Any more tips and comments most welcome.
Got a few of the Grey Herrons as they eventually came into reach of my lens (100-400 + 1.4tc)

These are all great shots. Did you shoot in RAW and use CS2 by any chance? I think the top two could be either darkened or add some saturation to it.

I did shoot RAW and I converted them using Raw shooter. I'll have another go at them and see what I can come up with. Thanks for your comment

I was going to suggest that for the top two, while in RAW, give the shadows slider a couple of bumps up. I've found that adding a couple numbers to the Shadows will give it more saturation and with less noise than actually adjusting saturation.

The finches came out real nice to my eye.

Will give it a go. Thanks for your help and comments

Had a quick go at the Herrons again. Do these look better?

Corrections look really good. Amazing what a couple of adjustments can do for the image. Both captures are excellent.

Thanks Bill. I'll have to spend a little more time processing the pictures in the future, to make sure I get the best out of them. Thanks again to Canonloader for the adjustment tip

Regards, Kevin.

Very nice series indeed Kevin and the second set of Heron shots are much better. Looking forward to more of your posts.

Thanks for your comments Reyno, much appreciated.

Regards, Kevin.

Correction makes all the difference, Nice series

Thanks Gary, comments much appreciated

#3 is awesome, nice work on all

Very nice on the herons Kevin. Now that birngs them out real nice.

Very nice. The adjustments to the heron shots helped. There is a lot of expert advice here for the taking!
