When you get lemons.....

make lemonade. I liked the composition, just not the photo execution.

My birding shots using hand held (braced off structure and SR on) DA 50-200 no matter what ISO just aren't up to any standard I would want to display (first photo), though I will here for comparison purposes. This shot ISO 400 but when it posted it looks like I used ISO 'gravel' making it even worse than before.

So I made a woven mat impression of same and am more pleased with this presentation.

C&C appreciated.

hi Clarence.

I recalled this shot from a while back and I liked the original composition a lot.

The post processing this time did not appeal to me though. It is certainly creative but I would prefer the shot as it is. Or maybe turning into watercolour or some sort.

I had been fond of all your PP shots so far

Cheers
James

I love the first PP with water colour filter better

I am not sure what others think but this one stands out

The woven mat effect is very cool. You are very creative.
