Hi Mike, I don't know if you have already planned your trip, but I just saw this thread and thought I could give some input. There are so many "must-see" locations that I couldn't possibly list them all. Check out birdingpanama.com for a pretty good outline of good spots. The three places I...

Hi Richard Great to see you posting some of your Panama images (pity I missed you in Gamboa, I heard you had asked after me). I think the repost is an improvement, but still looks a little too saturated for me (could be my eyes or screen). It would also be nice if there was a little separation...

WOW! This is absolutely brilliant.

Hi Chris, I don't quite follow what you mean by "...I think that there was front focus going on here, as the bird's feet are sharper than the bird's bill, it is hard to see in the web size version." Which focussing method did you use? e.g. AI servo, AI focus ? To say front focus implies an...

Nice and sharp and a good HA (not that Im part of the HAP). I would change the crop to give the bird more room at the top and a bit less perch at the bottom (cutoff around the small twig to the left). Of course if its not a crop then I would add some canvas at the top TFS stu

Hi Raul Nice pose and head angle. I can almost hear the song. Im guessing this is quite a large crop as Im seeing some sharpening halo LHS of the bird and quite a bit of noise (could be my eyes though - its late and I've had too much coffee). I would try to regain some image quality by going...

Excellent picture and tutorial. I hope I can use your technique as well as you do:bg3: TFS

Hi Gloria There is a lot to like about this image. I like the pose, head angle, eye contact and perch, and focus is spot on. The in focus branch on the right also adds interest and provides balance without distracting from the subject. For my tastes I would apply a little noise reduction on...

Pat I like this repost more than the original. The shot itself is great (HA, pose, perch). To be constructive (in a nitpicky way) - I find the OOF BG "splodge" to the right of the head a little distracting, you could clone it out? or leave it in:S3:

Thanks everybody for the kind welcome. Richard, I will keep an eye out for you - and show you where the oropendulas are nesting in the next street to ivans, or just ask anyone in Gamboa where to find me...

Hi Bill, I really really like this shot. I agree with the suggestions to crop slightly off the bottom. The bird is isolated nicely and the background appears nice and clean. Would you care to share some info on your pp workflow (program, sharpening and NR settings?) That (pp) is the area I...

Hi Everybody Just want to introduce myself, won't take long. I am originally an Ozzie, but spent the last six years travelling and working as an ecology researcher in various institutions. Now I find myself living and working in the rainforests of Panama. When I emerge from the forest I find...
