Hi Dan,

What a wonderful bird. Named after Boy George perhaps?

Regards,

Stuart

I wonder about your processing. The light appears flat. Have you processed this at all?

Spectacular colors! If I were to hazard a guess, I would think it's a hybrid between the Scarlet Macaw and the Blue and Gold Macaw.

That's sporting of you, Dan!

I'm not sure I'll do better. It depends on what information is in the RAW files. I'll have a good try. Thanks for the sharing!

do you know what i am learning everyday & have only just realised now how to edit the raw file & have just had my first play with the actual raw file rather than the jpeg which i usually edit from (or at least i think i have) & here is my first attempt! does this look any better to you guys or have i messed it up??? i personally think it is an improvement on comparison! maybe a little over saturated though!
