Hi my name is John I'm new to the forum. I live in New York (not the city) I live in suburbs out on Eastern Long Island. I'm an Animal Control Officer and have been a passionate amature photographer for more years than I care to count. Along with photography I love birds (the big guys Macaws, we have six of them) and some little ones also. I enjoy watching sports (huge Jets fan) baseball (Mets fan), music and reading. Glad to be here one can never get too much knowledge about a subject they love.

Love your shot, it is very colorful. Did you use a vignetting process on the corners of your photo? I'm not an expert but a bit more color in the birds body might make a big difference, the colors seem muted by shadow or some other reason. Anyway, your birds are truly a nice pair.

It looks like a vignette to me also, my opinion is that it would be better without it. It would show off the colors more.

Actually I took that picture a couple of years ago, I was considering getting away from film. I bought a little Kodak digital point and shoot camera nothing special. Decided I liked the digital thing and recently bought a Nikon D7000 which I like very much. I decided to hang onto my Nikon FE2 and still like the film thing. I decided that I needed to upgrade to Digital glad I did. I'm enjoying digital and it's fun learning the PS CS5 program.
