Did you take the parrot photos at the parrot shelter in Veldhoven? Oh sorry I see the answer now in your tags... Posted 13 years ago, modified 13 years ago

  Yep :) I'm sharing them slowly because after this set I'm out of stock. Need to make some new visits soon. Posted 13 years ago

Yes, I know how you feel, I'm almost out of material from Tilburg too (at least concerning the more unique shots). Did you do a lot of post processing on this one? The bright yellow, the vivid green and fringes of green branches: it is quite splendid and catchy. Well done! Posted 13 years ago

  The photo was quite bright and colorful originally, but I spiced that up even more with the "Photo stylizer" filter that is part of Color Effex. I also removed some noise due to the high ISO. Posted 13 years ago, modified 13 years ago

It worked out like a charm/pro. I like it a lot. My experiments with Lightroom are progressing too, I now know a good picture can be improved almost anytime by a little post processing. Some of my more advanced shots I have added convincingly great shadow and light play on a photo that had none, and it only takes about one to five minutes. That I like too! about half a year ago I did not believe in post processing at all and strived for killer shots. A lot of professionals, if not all, do it for a good reason. Good can be marvellous, marvellous can be godlike;) Posted 13 years ago, modified 13 years ago
