Dear tilde,
Your second shot, of the Mallard, has lovely texture and color in the water. The bird is almost superfluous -- you could have had a post there, just to show some scale. The water, though, is quite hypnotic.

Many thanks for the compliment, Michael. :)
I DO happen to have others from that day... and will share them in a separate post.

Ahhhh the Bluebirds of Happiness! :)

Fab captures!
(And you know, it wasn't until this past summer that I've even SEEN a bluebird for real!? They were all over the place in Salisbury this past summer though... hard to miss... but a thrill for me all-the-same lol)

I'm not sure how I feel about the Orton effect just yet (kinda the same way I feel about the HDR trend in photography), but using it on these flamingos lends an ethereal effect that's pretty interesting!

Love how it mutes the colors, too!

Fab contribution as always, photgrl... and many thanks :)

You've captured the holographic/iridescence of the feathers perfectly in this shot!
Kudos!

I will give it a go with this Heron

Yeah.

I'm jealous now! ;)

Great colors in this and I love how the heron is slightly masked by the grasses... not a distraction but adds to the whole feeling of the shot. :thumbup:

Too cool... and thank you!

Just for you. Back in 1977 I bought a gray parrot because it was so beautiful. It would never shut up. I sold it just three months later, but I still love the parrots, parakeets, lorikeets, etc. These are all pictures of my friends' birds.

Thanks!

Now I'm wondering... who won the wrestling match in photo #1!?
I had to do a double take there for a minute! :shock:

Number two is a GREAT closeup!
