Clip Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Saw some good birds yesterday. Most the usual suspects for this time of year but this young Black Skimmer stole the show. What a cutie! 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure why you felt the need to edit @Aidan B's EXCELLENT photo, but your edit shows signs of being overly edited. Your edit has a halo effect around the bird which is particularly noticeable down the bird's neck and back when viewed full screen. Your edit lacks the sharpness of Aidan's original, most notably the head doesn't have the same shimmering effect as the original. While your edit is a good attempt, I think you'd be better off practicing your editing skills on photos that actually need improving, and not other people's EXCELLENT photos. Sorry, @IKLland, but I like the original better than your edit and thought you might want to know why. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLecy Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Locally uncommon/rare Brewer's Sparrow. I kind of like how the fennel gave the image some soft tones. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/363058851 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
