wet galahs

[avkomp]

saw these two in a large gum tree getting shelter as best as they could.
let me get a pic or two before having had enough and flying away. is a pair with the male on the left
d5 600f4 1/1000 f4 iso 3200.
2nd pic not sharp on the female flying away but I liked wing position and water flying off.

Lovely colours in this one and I think the background complements the subjects. Great to have the birds facing each other in #1. I can see why you like #2 because of the wing position and feeling of movement - it's a bit hard to see the water drops at this size.

I love a good galah shot and these are up there Stephen. i notice some blown areas but maybe because of image size?

[avkomp]

Didn't think there was blown stuff. Will check later tho

[Isac]

Just what my eyes see Stephen. On the crests and the fanned tail. Maybe blown wasn't the right word, perhaps too bright may have been better

[avkomp]

ok was just below being blown, so have edited the images and added some highlight reduction to the crest and tail area

[avkomp]

Will have tocheck now though, or I won't sleep.......

[avkomp]

both images have had shadow highlight selectively on the crest and tail. seems to have brought that down a bit.
just hadnt noticed cos it didnt show any blown stuff in acr. just didnt look hard enough, I guess. will sleep better now anyhow.
Thanks for pointing that out to me

Beautiful shots. I do like the pose in the first one with the birds facing each other.
