I agree with the crop suggestion on the pigeon unfortunately whilst the kingfisher looks close - flash was not an option. That bird was about 20 feet away and is the size of a mouse so the shot is heavily cropped. I will try the curve adjustment and see what happens Many thanks.

Maybe not as rare as the gray Hornbill, these were everywhere... But what are they? Also from the glorious country of South Africa
Seeing as the Exif wouldn't remain intact for some reason I'll just post it... Sony A900 SAL 70-400G 400mm f6.3 1/400s ISO 400 Or is there some rule that says Exif must be in the shot...? Edited by Erriv - 08 April 2010 at 18:05 |

@ Erriv
Sorry but your Exif is not showing. Flickr strips it from all but the "Original" or "Large" size. |

It's a Masked Weaver. The Lesser Masked Weaver looks very similar but makes a different shaped nest. They are quiet common and make very nice subjects as they will constantly fly to and from their nest.
It's a very nice image that you caught! Well done. Edited by teddybear - 08 April 2010 at 11:37 |

Sorry for the delay in response. E-mail notification has changed with the new forum application. Just back off with the saturation in PP. In PSPX2 use Layers > New Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation/Lightness..., then take the saturation down somewhere between -8 and -15. You can use the histogram (F7) (Display channel "Saturation" making sure to check "Use all layers") to check the results and fine tune if necessary. Cheers... Brian |
