On my shots...

The Lorikeets really are a very bright bird color-wise. (Check out
web images) However, I used a flash because they were in the back of
the enclosure, and no bouncing surface was available. Consequently,
I've got almost-blowout from flash effect on the feathers. f/4
1/125th. Saturation was not kicked in post.


All I can say is, regardless of cause, the final effect is one of both
birds appearing over saturated to the point of being unpleasant.
Perhaps there might have been a fix available in post. I am sure it is
possible to reach a better solution.

The marmosets are about the size of a hamster. They have very, very
fine hair, so the flash washed out the fur a bit. f/5.3 1/125th.
Again, nothing to bounce off.


The marmosets are a tough shot to capture under those circumstances.

Both shots taken at the Melbourne Zoo on a camera club field trip.
Two other photographers in the group snapped the marmosets and had the
same flash effect in their shots. A third person shot without flash,
but ended up with a blurred shot.


....and even then it is possible to squeeze a bit out of the original in post:

Fixed.


The comments are not attached to the right shots (the second & third
shots have incorrect comments).


Done.

Just a different version of garish. The feathers aren't good enough
to start with. As far as I'm concerned, if it's a bird the feathers
have be detailed.


I think if you made a side-by-side comparison the fix might be more
apparent, including an improvement in feather detail.

It might be interesting if processed as an abstract and *really*

Yup!

I see that the Rainbow Lorikeet is considered to be a pest in New
Zealand. They are classified as a Unwanted Organism under the
Biosecurity Act.


Yep. They come and sit on the edge of the verandah roof just out of my
office (4' away) and make cheeky faces at me. I don't mind them.

Strangely, all of the images of the Rainbow Lorikeet that I find on
the web have that same mottled chest that I have in my image, but
thought it was due to being out of focus. Also all of the images look
over-saturated. Maybe my image is more true-to-life than I thought.

This image is from
http://abbfab.files.wordpress.com/20...w_lorikeet.jpg
an Australian avian biologist's paper on "rainbow effects in parrots'
plumage".


Now, here is a real cheeky character.

Bob Flint. I wish you guys who photograph ducks and plants and
flowers and such would identify them. What are those things, and will
they end up on my table? I do recognize the bean in the second
image. Or is it a snap pea? OK, I'm going for pea.


The first things are yellow plum tomatoes... lots of them... kind of boring but
they manage to meet the mandate... second plants are regular peas... whats more
a pair than peas in a pod?

The laminated wood doesn't look edible, but it makes an interesting
picture.


I wish I gave myself more time for this picture, I snapped off a dozen and
worked on them - would have planned a final shot of the best image but I left it
too late. Interesting combinations of shapes available... these are actually
drawer parts in the making...
