In between photographing flowers, I've been out chasing birds.



#1 Male Superb Fairy-wren



#2 Female Superb Fairy-wren



#3 Grey Fantail



#4 Australian white ibis



#5 Brown Thornbill



#6 Laughing kookaburra



#7 And for a change one of the Koalas I saw while out and about




Thanks for looking...

Nice ones Richard. Female Wren my favorite.

[Spearmint]

Thanks Greg, and yes it is also one of my favorites

Nice series Richard - the clean background really makes the female wren stand out. Well done on getting a Thornbill to sit still.

Love the Koala - looks like you were at eye level

[Spearmint]

Thanks Alan, yes we were standing side by side. Although when I first saw the koala we were very close, I did back away so I could get some photos.

Beautiful series Spearmint. Cloning out a couple of little branches would be my only suggestion, so I guess a score of 98/100 shouldn't be sneezed at. You are a master.

[Isac]

I'm sure will be able to handle that Spearmint. What editing software do you use?

[Spearmint]

I can do basic background replacement using Photoshop, it's the time consuming fine detail I don't have a lot of patience for. I know ON1, Luminar, and Franzis Cutout, which I also have are supposed to make life simpler, but my preference is taking photos not editing them.

Thanks for that Spearmint - to each his own (and hers).

Beautiful series Richard. I love the variety you have captured.

My favorite is #2 with the uncluttered background. The clarity and color are most impressive as well.

[Spearmint]

Thank you. I've been heading over to French Island for a wander. I need to do some research what weather is best for birds as last Saturdays visit was rather poor with regards viewing birds and other wildlife.

Lovely shots Richard, great closeups.

nice series, overall the female wren my fav. seems to have a bit of halo around it, was the original a tad dark?
a koala is always good value too
