ch61 (wave 2):4 very different ones

adrian_k

which one is your fav.?
another building.


an expensive mistake :uhoh


blue sky at last:clap .


don't often see these guys, so I made the most of it so I have *loads*
I had to shoot this at iso200 - which gives about the same noise as 3200 from a dslr. No colour here, just the blue/grey on the wings.


no colour adgjustments, just cropping and white/black point.

#1 i's ok, #2 expensive indeed but will not fit on ch.61, #3 closer to ch.61 but nothing more, #4 I am looking to a true B&W shot? whereis the color hint?
On a personal level, #4 is my favorite, it is clean & nice.

What he said. #3 is the closest to the challenge but #4 is the best pic. Don't know about you, but this challenge is driving me nuts. :bash

Am I mistaken or does that bird have red on his beak??? It's a little small to see...would you be able to crop it, placing the bird not so dead center - maybe drop him to the bottom left??? A little larger and the color (if it's there!) would show up!!

you *are mistaken , he's got a black beak. I could airbrush him a red beak.

The only colour there is the blue/grey on his wings, seems that people are expecting a splodge of primary colour :cry .

I know what you mean about 1 - it just doesn't work.

Do you think the colour in 2 & 3 is too subtle? Is that why you say they don't fit.

Regarding #2, I would say just the opposite. The first impression is a color pic, not B&W, even though the colors are not highly saturated. #3 seems to be just right...looks B&W at first, then you notice the small patch of blue in the clouds. But it just isn't a compelling image, I'm afraid.
