Re: PESO: Female Cormorant
Couple of issues - the image is a little large to be viewed without scrolling. This takes away from the impact. You might consider a smaller image size or offer multiple image sizes. Also, it seems rather grainy - something that could be fixed perhaps. Lastly, it seems overexposed. The white on it's head seems blown out and the overall rendering just looks washed out. If you could take a crack at those issues and then repost, I think we could talk about the photographic values of it - rather than the processing aspects. --- Bruce Sunday, February 11, 2007, 8:24:58 AM, you wrote: JW> Another Cormorant shot 8) JW> K10D, Sigma 300 f/4 APO, f/5.6 @ 1/100 sec ISO800, RAW (DNG), SR=on, ACR, JW> CS2, USM, crop, Noise Ninja.

I'll give it a go and repost tomorrow, thanks for the constructive critique. I'm not sure I can do much more with the grainy look but size and exposure shouldn't present a problem.

Hello John, yes, much improved. The sizing down even helped tame the noise a bit. I think you could even go a little darker, especially in the mid tones, but this is a good start. Now for the photo itself, it is quite nice. The man-made perch has enough character to not bother me and you have caught him not looking away. The sharpness is quite good.

I've just read up on the Cormorant, apparently it may not be female as both sexes share the same colouring. I have a shot of one from a week or so back, thought it was male, apparently it was a young one, paler underside, feathers green/brown in colour.

I like this as well. Again, I didn't see the earlier version. Excellent detail. I might reduce overall brightness a small amount and perhaps burn in the light parts of the head. I don't think the highlights on the head are the result of oversharpening. If it was oversharpened, we'd be seeing artifacts in other areas.
