Lorikeets

I have altered the background using photoshop. Please let me know if

there is anything that seems distracting or displeasing. I'm just

getting the hang of photoshop and doing all the feathering/blending in

a realistic way is still a bit tricky for me.

Nice colours... beautiful Lori's... I Like them... Got three, only one left :(... congrats, take care

Beautiful colors and image Phillip,lovely capture,congrats

Colors are beautiful. Comparing with the original, I understand why you changed the background. In the above image, I think the background here is a bit too saturated and is pressing in on the birds.

Very beautiful capture!!

I like so much colors and background.

Great photo!!!!

Very beautiful. Shadow on the lower left hand corner is a shame. Otherwise perfect photo, in my opinion.

 

Cheers.

Thanks to everyone for the comments and suggestions.

 

Dieter... I can see your point about the background. I wish I were better at photoshop because I would like to try some tweaking of the background, but I can never figure out how to isolate the background where I can do light level changes without having a halo effect that then has to be manually removed in many areas.

 

Andrew... yes, I agree about the shadow. In the original, uncropped photo, the situation is much worse since the shadow is actually a very distinct band. I cropped it just enough to remove the transition back to bright. Unfortunately, no way to crop it out entirely. Any suggestions from anyone about how to deal with this would be appreciated. Is it worth trying to lighten it a bit in photoshop... can that be done and have it look good?

Beautiful colors, very nice photo!
