Girl, these are great! Where did you find these birds, I know you didn't get that close out in mother nature to them....LOL I liked the colored tree better, and wish it was off centered, remember the thirds rule..;0)

I agree with lilbit about the thirds rule, I 'm leaning towards the color shot. All of your shots are very nice..the pheasent shot is my fav...great job.

perhaps the colored tree would look better in b&w. This is how I would do it with photoshop: convert with a channel mixer adjustment layer, check monochrome. Start with red=0 green=132, blue=-32. Then play with it. If you want to add a touch of color, add a curves adjustment layer, slightly change the curves in the green and blue channel.

Great shots! I like the sepia best of the two and agree that it should be off-centered.

Okay I know the rule of thirds. But these shots were for an order you could say. A lady I know wants some tree shots to be framed and matted. So that is the reason for the centering. There is a method to my madness. That is what the choices thing is all about.

Those chuckers are cute! Your sets are great. and sepia for me please.

That is quite some color in Dem birds!!!

I like all the close ups of the animals....great color and detail! Sepia for me.....and, I like it centered..... :)

Wow, these are great. I really like Pheasant and the two Chuckers shots. Gorgeous. On the last choice, I really prefer the color version. The steel blue and the golden color of the grasses mix beautifully.

I think this is the same kitty in the same place. But he could see out of both eyes still when I took this shot.

I was trying to explain the "chuckers" to my hubby. He kept asking what they looked like. I told him the colors and I said "they are round". They are.....LOL

Rooster and chucker2 are my favs. Nice shots...I choose the sepia. Thanks
