Just another birdy shot.

Friday lunch time and I was bored so I decided to do some bird watching in the back yard!

I caught this one chowing down on some flowers in our beloved Feijoa tree. It was a tough one since in order to get the right angle I had to scale a neighouring tree... the branches of which weren't entirely stable! And lugging a 80-200 AFS up with me didn't help the situation!!



Question: Was the pic worth a broken neck?
.... Answer: No you bloody idiot!

I'd keep those birds away from that fruit! Nice big bush you must have by the looks of it - one day mine will be big like that

Nice shot. Well worth the climb!

Nice shot... don't like the frame though.

Great colours... and nice and sharp!

Thanks peoples! The tree is covered with brawling Rosella's when the fuit's ripe.
The AFS 80-200 is an awesome chunk of glass! Shots are always sharp and have plenty of contrast.
Yeah I agree the frame could be better. It's just one of the standard action frames that come with CS2. I'm not too familiar with the whole frame making thing.
Can you point me in the direction of a decent frame making tutorial for photoshop?

I can't because I'm one of those people that thinks frames (unless they're just solid white border frames mostly) ruin images.

The only time I use a frame is of the white border variety and it's when I'm printing up images.

Not sure about tutorials? I just recently downloaded some photoshop frame actions from here.
Easier than making your own.

Great capture - just tilting my head sideways, imagine this image flipped 90 degrees clockwise.

1 little issue that bugs me (no offense agriffiths, little things bug me) the branch seems more in focus than the bird itself.
