Reddish Meal

[DRT730]

It was a dull morning with bad light, and processing was over cooked, Do you agree?

Maybe a little bit saturated but just a bit.
Beautiful bird and shot.
Nice catch.

Colors look good to me. Nice catch

 

[Mitchell]

Colors look a bit nuclear to me!

 

[Allan]

Yes, over saturated based on east coast egrets.

we really can't tell at the sizes posted here so they look real good to me, on a 27" lcd maybe not so much (apparently)....it is funny how we're all the same as far as being our worst critics, I think that's a good thing

btw I prefer #1 for the head turn, water droplets and the froozen peak action, and of course the fish

If this were mine I would be very pleased.

Great pictures.
Nothing to say about the colors.

Kind regards

Thanks, i intentionally over did the saturation since the color was dull.

yup, for the purist its unnatural. but sometimes we just need to have fun messing with it

Sometimes its nice to get out of the normal way of doing things and to experiment on what we can get away with and get some reactions

I'm more of a baker than a cook, so not knowing this bird the colors look fine to me! I actually like the contrasts between the red and gray on my computer.

Maybe I need to re-calibrate my 27" monitor but the colors look pretty good to me. If the saturation hadn't been mentioned I wouldn't have given it a second thought..

 

[Louis Champan]

Very nicely done, great feather detail and the colors to me are OK.

Delbert, your post has me wondering if perhaps your west coast birds have a different coloration than the reddish I stalk here in Florida. In your original post you do comment that your processing was "over cooked". Do you have a photo from this set where the coloring was more true to your eye even though the lighting was overcast?

I thought if landscape photography and other genre could manipulate the original, why can't we?
