Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent. Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature. Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread. Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Birds of Featherdale
On Sunday I was fortunate enough to go to Featherdale Wildlife Park with Matt K & Philo. This is a great spot for photography since you can get close to many of the birds and animals. Here are my pick of the birds (see here for the animals). More images from the day can be found HERE.
Please note - this is not my normal area of photography so I'd be interested in any observations about my composition and my post processing (they've been put through my standard landscape workflow). Thanks to ATJ, Oneputt and Big Monkey for help with the bird IDs. All shots were taken with the 28-70/f2.8 and natural light. 
The camouflage of these owls fascinates me  Last edited by stubbsy on Mon Dec 10, 2007 5:53 pm, edited 1 time in total.

I think there excellent photos, my only critisism would be that you've call the Tawny Frogmouth an owl, but thats a common mistake and Im sure their used to it by now and wont be offended
Looks like a nice place to visit. Nunquam requîrere a aptus occãsiõ ad claudere sûrsum
Peter, I think the definite stand out (or should that be fly out?) here is the Kookaburra - it's gorgeous and well captured, sharp and nicely saturated. Well done!

Peter - exactly what Geoff said. Not taking away from the other 3 images, but the Kookaburra is a real stand out.

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935. Our mug is smug
