Both decent shots but a bit burnt out in the highlights. One thing is it all depends on what type of monitor you view the shots. On my 19" 1440 x 900 caliberated monitor which is very high resolution the first shot looks like you used a high ISO or sharpening as I can see a lot of artifacts and a grainy effect. The second shot is much smoother.

Pete i did do a bit of touching up on the first one but nothing on the second. I do need to calibrate my monitor though just havent got around to it yet.

I have never heard them referred to as silver gulls so i guess you learn something every day. You can't go wrong in WA and the NT both wonderful places. Have you been into Kakadu national park in NT :Lilly Wrote

Lilly i have never heard of them being called Silver Gulls before. I only know them as seagulls. If you are refering to the colour they are a brilliant white

As you see the pic here it is at 100% in actual size so i guess that means i have taken everything out from around the birds. zoomed in so to speak.Clarky wrote:

I assume you mean 'cropped' but how do you crop to 100%. Does that mean you remove nothing or everything?Such a good reception on the first one. So heres another. Copped to 100% but untouched.

Thanks Prieni
It is cropped too 100% and i did a rush touchup in silkypix but i plan to have another go at it in PS.
It is a good shot and i was surprised a bit at the outcome.

Chris I guess i got lucky. It was an A lens and the only one i had with me. My wife had the car keys and i left my bag in the car. They were flying very low and checking me out for feed i suspect. Do you think i should do anything with the background or just leave it as is. Thanks
