Hello KD
Because you are my friend:
#1 Noisy BG, seems quite underexposed but with room to come alive
#2 Dodge the eye a bit, BG is good but a bit of NR makes it great!
#3 Tone down the highlights on the branch, work some NR on the BG
#4 Nice tones on B&W or greys and cremes. Push a little more color in the eye
#5 Now isn't the just lovely
#6 Difficult shot to retain the reds, Canon seems to over push reds but you have them in check.NR on BG needed.
#7 Very pleasing
#8 A bit less of the foreground may strengthen this one buddy, take off about 1/4 of the bottom/

Hey, how are you
Karl...Show more →
thanks so much for the pointers and detailed C&C. I really appreciate it.
Made all the suggested changes except:
re: 1: the branch was wet and I am having difficulty re: reducing the highlights - will PM you later for more help
re: #4- eye color is actually close to actual - so left it alone
please do let me know if it worked and there others after that batch.

Simply fabulous set, KD! So hard to pick favorites. Also you got some pretty unique species there.
If I had to pick, then it would be Jacanas, Snail Kite, Mountain Tanager, Unicorn bird, Booted Racket-tail, and Hoatzin... can't stop

Ecuador has been on my list, but it's time that is the problem. And again if we see everything on one trip, then it defeats the purpose of our passion doesn't it?
