Some captive birds being flown

A Bird of Prey Rescue Centre was flying some birds at a Garden Centre near me so I went along for a look. I found that I am not very good at panning - so here are some that are not flying.

Very nice shots.

That first shot is fantastic. They are all great shots. It must be easier when the subjects cooperate.

Thanks Billybuzz you are right, I don't pretend that they compare to wildlife shots - that is another level.
#1 owes its colours to Elements as it seemed a dull brown initially although I had seen colours at the time I took it. I duplicated the layer and applied 5% gaussian blur while changing the blending mode to 'colour'. I then applied a hue/sat adjustment linked to this layer. I could then wind the colour right up 30 or 40 without it blocking up. The colours then appeared as I had seen them. The same procedure brought out the owls eyes. Poor old Stig just stayed ugly.

Thanks for the tip on using Elements to make the colors pop. Love the pictures.

Thanks Wheezie - blimey you have done some stuff in the past.
As Billybuzz said it's easier when they are tied to a post.
Try that hue/sat adjustment, it's amazing the colours that appear. It can bugger up the greens a bit though.
The owl is a full portrait but I like to crop in on the head to get those eyes.

perhaps you don't pan well, I wouldn't know. But your portraits here are wonderful... even Stig should be pleased... after all, we are what we are and looks are just the exterior part.
