Took the kids to the Providence Zoo yesterday... It was the best weather day we have had in weeks.. No humidity in the air.. nice dry sunny day.... Today its cool and dark with rain in the forecast.


Taken with my Nikon... Finding I need a zoom lens.. I can not get as close as the Sony did....

The Sony is back from the shop and I handed it down to Sara -- rethinking THAT ONE!... After looking at her photos I was impressed how close she could get.. It seems when they replaced the zoom lens on the Sony the added an extra digital zoom that I NEVER had....


ok back to my photo......
cropped ..
selected busy bg and painted black...
added saturation and sharp.. had to run in neat image to fix some busy noise...



After MONTHS and MONTHS of no really Flamingo I finally have a real one to add the the theme! :)

very beautiful image of wonderful flamingo.
well done tricia..
so nice

Hi Tricia,
Excellent close-up capture of this beautiful flamingo. Superb colour contrast of the pink and white. Excellent brightness with no OE area's in the white feathers.
How is your Nikon D40X doing? Looking to this photo must be in perfect healthy condition :-)

Fabilous colours, fine sharp details Tricia !
But I see a, very tiny, white line on the contours of the bird ( between bird and black )
I think, you made your selection to sharp,
to clean.
Never mind, beautiful job !

i like the color contrast here tricia :)
good details
slightly grainy...was this crop from a wider shot? :)
a good zoom for your D40x would be a 55-200 VR :)

koh

LOL!!!! Excellent capture. Excellent sharpness and details.
Well done
Pierre

PS: You didn't miss anything without the digital zoom.
