This cattle egret image was taken over 2 weeks ago (I don't get out to shoot very often). I processed it originally in DPP with way too much saturation and sharpening. So I just did it again with a lot less processing per Kernuak's suggestion and it does look much better (more natural).

Don't be afraid to shoot wildlife in portrait orientation (or crop) either. I also need to practice what I preach more on that score too.

My first posting on this forum....

This is a White Throated Launghingthrush, quite common in the hills of India.
This individual was very inquisitve about my lens and came up real close for a good look :).

Hope you guys like it.

No. Watch it - he may be a sniper...  ;)

Btw, great timing! Was it a one shot?

Hi,
got this thrush bathing in my pond. Somewhat oversharpened maybe to bring out the water droplets.
The bird is 6 meters away so well cropped. What can I do to get more out of this?
Unfortunately I cannot change my position once the bird is there, so any other ideas?

And another of a great tit during takeoff. Still struggling to keep them in focus as they
are so fast and I still haven't found the optimal AF settings for this kind of situation.
The AF point was slightly behind his tail, so understandably out of focus. Its just
about impossible to predict which way they will fly off.

I think the setting for small birds in flight is called luck :P. These three, in two sequences, I was lucky in the regard that I was already watching it and had it in my sights, otherwise the 7D AF would never have caught up.

Hmm, I've had a new look at the 5D menus, "Luck" you say? can't seem to find that setting!

Nice shots.

Cheers Brian
