Great variety, looking forward to seeing your mammal shots as well. I especially like the lapwing pair and the Caracara portraits.

Thanks for sharing, Dave

Congrats on an obviously very satisfying adventure Greg.
Terrific set of images that I thoroughly enjoyed seeing... the Lapwings are the standouts for me.
Very well done.

Well, I guess it's okay to illustrate what I meant (I hope):
Here's my quick edit:
Clicked on auto color and used slider.
Clicked on sharpness and used slider.
Cropped the image.

Thanks, Charlie! I hope my new version corresponds more closely to what you had in mind!

Thanks, Morris. I'm not sure how much I pre-visualized, but your comments and approach are always thought-provoking. ~Greg

Super set of some super exotic birds Greg. Congrats !!!

Best,
Tom

Appreciate it, Tom. The good news is that I've been back a week, and find myself just as interested in the common boring birds at home! ~Greg

Terrific set here Greg, that is a place I've long wished to visit!

No.2 has great detail and I think the pose really works for this type of portrait shot.

No.3 great pose here and terrific colour too.

No.4 and 5 are very nice shots that really show the elegance of these birds.

Looking forward to seeing those big cat shots!

Paul.

Thanks, Paul. I'm slow with the cats; it's hard to find something that Eric hasn't already posted! ~Greg

Fine set!
Really diggin' the looks on the lapwing. They are quite different than the African and Aussie models.

#2 ROCKS!

Cheers,
Brian

Appreciate it, Brian. Those Caracaras are really elegant, all the more so given their eating habits!

Cool set Greg. I really like #1-3. The lapwings look like a cool bird too.

Thanks, Herb; I have one image with spurs showing (not sure why they're showing); that's also very interesting, and I'll try to post later. ~Greg

Greg,
The edits you made helped the colors just right.
Some judicious sharpening might also be of benefit. Especially the eyes.
I read a lot of magazines that are big on photographs- and I never see images that are less than tack sharp- unless it's a "dream-like" interpretation, or trying to create a sense of motion with a still shot, or a close-up of a flower, etc.
Just my opinions, of course .
Charlie

Ah...just saw this post, Charlie, and it's very much appreciated. I think sharpening is like drinking beer as one gets older...you keep on doing more of it. Perhaps I have a lot of growing-up to do (in both departments).
