Hi all,
This is a shot I took way back at the end of May, shortly after I got my
K-x. I've been tinkering with it off and on ever since and can't bring
myself to abandon it, as it was the first in-flight bird I ever captured
that I was somewhat proud of. The color of the background was
absolutely horrid in the original photo, and it was pretty noisy by K-x
standards. I messed with toning down the colors (it was an abhorrent
mix of brown, green, rust, and yellow originally) until I finally
decided it looked best with everything desaturated out, except for the
red of the bird. I'm still trying to deal with some ugliness on the
beak, but I'm slowly getting it out of there.

K-x, DAL 50-200mm, f/5.6, ISO 400, 1/1250 sec
It was shot in jpeg format, so I'm somewhat limited in my options. And
this is a resized (2400 pixels long-side) version after some minor
cropping (I'm trying to stay as close to the original resolution as
possible for now). Any tips on what I can do, aside from the cropping,
to make it a more effective image?
Comments, critiques, and/or relentless hectoring welcome.
Best,
Walt
