A few more bird shots for comment

Here are a few more shots taken over the last 12 months or so of learning/playing.

Wow #2 is very special! It's got a nice abstract feel to it.

[Trevor bond]

Thanks for that, it took a lot of shots of empty sky to get this 1.

WOW these show real potential

#1 slightly OOF probably due to being handheld but the colours are wonderful, and Tuis are particularly shy in my experience in the wild, so getting that close is excellent
#2 really clever shot, awesome timing, could be improved with cropping and a bit of processing to boost the colours
#3 again slightly OOF but again a difficult bird to shoot in my experience
#4 is the money shot for sure

A great series and you clearly have an excellent eye, and waaaaaay more patience for shooting birds, or superninja stalking skillz

I had a bit of a play with your Tui shot in LR - nothing much just toned down the sky a bit to make it look a bit more natural

[Trevor bond]

Wow, that just helps tp make it pop. Thanks!
Now how do i do that in Photoshop?

I love #2. It's full of nature being nature. The wings and tail doing their thing, the feast in front of the bird. It's all going on.

[BlueRose]

no idea, i dont use it, I use LR, is SO MUCH EASIER to do basic processing in, and even certain levels of more fancier editing

Wow what a pic

[Trevor bond]

Thank you, I was fortunate in that he was so busy gorging on the pollen that I managed to get in close.
