I hope you all know that the birds in these shots did not make it past the machine gun :cry but they do look good for the last time :dunno :D :thumb

Very good work Ben :thumb :thumb

Hit that pelican with some levels or curves (stretch the histogram from 0-256) and it'll brighten right up. It won't fix the missing wingtip, but you shouldn't feel too bad. The missing wingtip club has lots of members (including your's truely).....LOL

Hey Ben,

The first shot is outstanding. :clap I wasn't going to mention it but you did clip the wing a tad in the pelican BIF. :D

Try applying D-light lightly on the other shots. I think it will improve them.

thanks everyone as always you all keep me going. Normally would reply in kind but wanted to take Steve & Harry's advise. So I redid a couple with emphasis on brighting them up. What do you think?? :dunno

Love the pelican. Now I remember I need to work up mine.

I would love the snowy, just don't. have liked others better. The GBH w/fish, that is a good capture.

But I am very impressed with all the birds you got into that 300mm lens.

What is d light?

Ya know I feel just like that G. I. Joe guy years ago in the comics, whenever I drop the hammer on the machine gun, sometimes I even wear camo gear :rofl :D
