    Photos The birds

    Got dragged to Chester Zoo yesterday, so instead of the usual shots of various animals having a poo, here's one of my fave's I took. Was all quiet then something must have startled all the birds.

    really nice shot you got there.

    any photowizardy going on?? Seems a bit close to the end of the earth rather than a nice family trip to the zoo!
    I'm new to this :huh:

    Yeah, huge contrast boost to get the right side even darker (was naturally darker than left but wanted it really dark) and slight adjustment for the WB, but all done during RAW import not in post-pro. Only post-pro was crop as there was a bit of a tree at bottom of the image.
