p.1 #1 · Working the background | Birdy pics - II

Continuing the series of bird portraits with backgrounds which I've tried getting them on.
Earlier set here - https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1083521/0#10318038

Western reef egret against the lake

Little green bee eater, with the dry lake bed as BG

Crested lark, no great background but the almost same-tone BG helped, converted to BnW later

Rose ringed parakeet, greens on blues

C&C sought please

Cheers,
Hayath

Good looking set, Hayath.
#2 is a beautiful close up and you did a great job on the B&W conversion.

I believe #2 shows the best bg of all enhancing the already sharp detail.

Thank you Birdie, Kcollett, Chris, David, Sherms, Howard and Ron for those kind words and picks

Agree with all of your viewpoints, #2 sure does stand out, and glad it does.

Cheers,
Hayath

#2 shows great detail. I would crop tighter on #4 and pull back on #1 and 2. Don
