Not sure if I have done this correctly. Hopefully you will see my picture! This is my best picture of a European Roller in flight. Taken in Tanzania 2009 while watching and trying to photograph them mobbing some Lesser Kestrels. I had actually given up as I didn't believe I would actually manage to get a shot at all. Suggestion for taking birds flying at high speed gratefully accepted. If the link to the photo doesn't work I will add the picture to the main gallery tomorrow.

Wonderful coloured bird well captured, but the image is lacking contrast I feel.

I can't do a great job on a small compressed image, but I'd suggest you up the contrast a little & also try cropping tighter top & left (moving subjects are generally best framed with more space to move into)
I hope you don't mind but I've quickly knocked up an example, it can be removed if you wish.

No of course I don't mind. I just don't know how to do what you have yet but I will have a go. I was just amazed that I even managed to get a fair clear Roller in the shot. They were all over the place. By the time I had managed to get them in frame on the camera it was just a matter of shotting and hoping for the best. I took over 100 shots and most are blurred or don't even have a bird in the picture!
Thanks again for your suggestions wil practise in Paintshop Pro.

It's not worked because you are still just posting the website address
For a photo it has to be an address with .jpg on the end.
The one you did above finished with "European-Roller.jpg" on the end i.e. the name of the file. You need to logon to your page and it should let you copy the link to the photo with .jpg on the end.
Better luck next time.

PP for me means 'post-processing'. Get the image on your comp' and go to work on it like tweakin' the contrast, saturation and curve levels, and maybe some croppin' etc.

It's a nice shot... the thorns and background are perfect.
I think Scott meant PP which stands for post processing or editing
to you and me. Like RR and Scott did on your earlier post.
