Wow - the white egret is amazing - his wings have become transluscent with the lighting and you can see his bones! I wish it was a little sharper, though.

Nice shots, but that great egret is a bit large huh

BTW...Is that an oak titmouse?

[terryger]

that's an oak titmouse:thumbsup:

i know the egret big but it loses a lot on compression for posting on a webpage.:idea:

An image trhat size at good quality should ge 1MEG atleast. The quality you save at is why it looses alot My 600x400 images at highest quality are larger file sizes. Try to save your images at 600x400(or there about) at a file size of 100kb to 150kb.

I took your image into PS CS2 and resized it and added some smart sharpening.... It looked way better to my eyes even with such a low quility file to start with.

[terryger]

show me what you got.

I didn't save it, so just went and did it.... crop, resize, smart sharpen, noise ninja (slightly) and opened up the dynamic range with levels(I just learned that trick)

GRRRRR, I had to resave it after working it because it wouldn't load. :mad2:

well that will be my next set of classes. i have spent a while picking up the learning curve of my 20d. it is a handful getting good images to begin with.

perfecting those images in photoshop and other media is a game in itself.

the journey of 1000 miles begines with a sigle step.

thanx for the help.

I am only 2 steps ahead of you ;) Don't feel bad
