Hello,

On a backpacking trip last year I took this picture, and have just now remembered about it... I think it was a bit lucky that they happen to be looking the same ways, and that they are still. This picture was taken with my sony cybershot, so, please be nice

Whiskey Jacks




EDIT: I boosted the color in one, and made the other black and white, see which one you like better!


Boosted the Color/temperature




Black and White





Thanks!

When you post it as an image you have to get rid of the ?v=0.

Ah, thank you, I'll try that now.

Sorry to bring this thread up again, but... Anyone have anything to comment?

Hi gamerz,

Good thing that you did, since I didn't have the pleasure of viewing them earlier.

I think you have a great capture there. Composition is good and you have - amazingly - managed to get them to sit in formation with their heads turned in the same direction. What's next, getting them to salute?

It's a dramatic image due to the angle and the harsh light. Contrast is high on this one - the dark is very dark and the white is very white.

It's interesting because it is different than many other bird-shots. Also the colors are close to being B&W against the colored sky, which adds to the contrast as well.

It might be interesting to convert to a full B&W perhaps?

The overhanging branch sticking out from top-center can perhaps be cloned out to make the composition more "pure" or "simple" in order to enhance the iconic nature of the shot.

A small dash of warming may perhaps take some of the starkness of it out - however, it's the contrasts that help make this image what it is.

Thanks for sharing!

Cheers

Thank you!

I'll convert it to Black and White and post that in a bit...
