The Spinebills have arrived at home. Yay

glad they back for you. 2nd not look sharp, focus seems in front of the bird. good job on the exposure too.

Amazing colours wombat. Agree with the focus thing, but you're lucky to have these creatures in your yard. Framing and sharpness in #1 is spot on.

[Wombat]

Yes #2 is soft but it was the only one I got of the bird actually feeding so it is a temporary keeper. When A better one comes up I can delete the first one. There is one other problem here is the "upload' process flattens the colours in the images. I deliberately increased the saturation and luminance in the reds and sure enough the red ring in the eyes came out dull and flat looking. I have noticed the problem is right across board in all photo uploads.

hmm, according to my exif reader, these images are in argb profile. I shoot argb also for a perceived wider gamut,
but
you must convert them to srgb for display on the web, or you get dud colours..............
most web browsers arent colour managed and assume srgb. so if you got pix posted in argb they get messed up.
some file hosting places dont upload that flash either, dont know much about who or why.

I would be trying converting the pix to srgb and uploading again

Thanks for the tip Stephen I''ll try the sRGB next time. I like your comment "a perceived wider gamut" I sometimes wonder if that comment is spot on as the difference between sRGB and AdobeRGB can be very subtle indeed.

Pretty sure the srgb thing will sort you. Come across this issue a lot. There probably isn't much differences between the colour spaces, but I am a creature of habit, if it makes a slight difference I still shoot argb and convert to srgb for the web. You always want the best raw image you can get. And if you think it is even 1/10th a percent better, it is.

True Stephen, it is just my mumbling on.
