  • Black faced Cuckoo Shrike

    Something a bit rare for me, I can never seem to get a photo of these birds actually looking into the sun. Their faces seem to always be in the shade. But this morning, all was good.

      I'm always a bit partial to a 'Bird on a Wire'

      Exposure looks good too. Cropped? Bit of B/G noise and two big dust bunnies top left.

      But a rare bird is always exciting - well done

        Well done Isac.

        Looks slightly over sharpened to me..halo around the head is a giveaway and a bit noisy, easy fix.

          Thanks for that Greg, Alan and Mick. Fixed all the problems. I guess I got a bit excited by the shot instead of taking more care about the PP.

              Thanks eaglem. I'm starting to see quite a few of these guys around at the moment, they must be setting up house at the lake.

            I don't know if it is me but there is something unatural about this photo!
            It must be the funny tree it is in.
