Toucan 3

Still looking for help on my toucan. By manipulating to B&W and

cropping slightly, I thought that maybe I would get a little more

contrast. Any comments or critique would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Donna: This would make a great hand paint touch up photo. A little color (orange?) to the bill and maybe a sephia look may work. Maybe some color to the eye. If you really wanted to do some work - a very soft hand coloring to the entire picture would be rather dramatic. I like the photo - the angle makes the beak look huge.

for me at least the white around the bird coupled with the leaves is very distracting. If he/she was standing on top of a branch with leaves below it might be fine but here it just doesn't seem to work. Kevin

Nice pictures. I prefer color. In your other photo, it would have been good to reduce the green a little bit in photoshop. Fill flash may have helped.

 

The feathers seem somewhat smooth as if it isn't focused perfectly. Usually, when a bird is focused perfectly, you get more feather details, but I don't know about toucans.
