pauledell Posted January 2, 2012 Share #6 Â Posted January 2, 2012 Marc, Â A wonderful picture. The composition that is dominated by the rock, the subtle colors and light, the contrast between the birds and the rocks. The birds seem to glow in the light. This should catch the attention of anyone looking at it. Â Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_dufour Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share #7 Â Posted January 2, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Paul, Â Thank you so much for your kind comment. It was early in the morning. The birds were strangely quiet. I could take several photos with some variants of a bird landing or taking off, but eventually this one with all quiet said more to me.

jaapv Posted January 3, 2012 Share #8 Â Posted January 3, 2012 I like it very much, but it seems to be a bit oversharpened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_dufour Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share #9 Â Posted January 3, 2012 Jaap, Â I havn't got the right point for JPG. If I reduce the TIF file directly, it loses too much sharpness. If I add sharpess later to reduce, it's easyly oversharpened. I know I've to improve it seriously :-) I'm glad you like the picture, beside this defect.

jaapv Posted January 4, 2012 Share #10 Â Posted January 4, 2012 Start out with an image that is sharpened normally without artefacts, but decently sharp.. In Photoshop, set your crop tool to 6x4" and 300 DPI.drag to include the whole image and hit enter. Then go to "image size" and set to 960 wide, use the default bicubic and resize. Go to Unsharp Mask and sharpen 15%,radius 1.0,threshold 0 Go to Edit, fade sharpen 100% and in the pull down menu choose luminosity. Save as jpeg and choose a quality setting that gives you about 300 Kb. Â Btw you should convert to sRGB (not assign profile!) and 8 bits. Â It sounds like a complicated procedure but it really is not. Once you have figured it out it takes about ten seconds. For the result have a look at my "nose in the wind" shot.

Bateleur Posted January 13, 2012 Share #14 Â Posted January 13, 2012 The island has a surreal quality floating on a milky sea, and the birds too sense something, they are all looking the same way (Except one.) Â Regards Charles Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_dufour Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share #15 Â Posted January 13, 2012 Charles, Â There were magic and tension in the air. And also silence, despite so many birds Thanks for looking and such an accurate observation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
