Corella's

[Grumpy John]

On my morning walk today I noticed a rather large flock of Corella's in the park. I cut the walk short and went back home to get the 7D and Siggy 150-600.

I've only had time to prepare 1 image for presentation, more to follow.

Feedback welcome.

[Grumpy John]

Another one.

G'day GJ

I think that #2 shows the bird somewhat better as we can also see what it is feeding on
focus + other stuff is good too

Thanks for the feedback Phil. 100% agree, it's always good to photograph the wildlife going about their day to day lives.

Good work on these John. I think these are the "Little Corella". #2 for sure but #1 is OK too. They don't always have something in their mouths - they do like to observe their surroundings before they ho in to their tucker

good to get these guys. 2nd shot is way crisper to my eyes and has the light in the eyes. good work on that.
I reckon the paspalum should go from that shot because it really does pull the eyes. I reckon that would lift the shot a level or two. well done.

Thanks for the feedback Stephen, always appreciated.

Done.

Big improvement. Imho. What do you think?

[Grumpy John]

Originally I thought that the Paspalum helped "frame" the Corella, but I agree that it is a better image now. Thanks for the feedback.

[Grumpy John]

Just for a comparison, here is the original image.

Nice work on the edits John, you're getting better every day.

[Grumpy John]

Thanks Isac, you can take some credit too for all the guidance you have given me lately.

Any time John. (Western Standard Time) - and anyone else that needs some help, only too willing!
