Dragon and Damsel eyes

Hello,

An early morning visit to the Roma Street Parklands yesterday provided the following macro photos of some quite willing subjects.

The EWD and Damselfly were very tolerant of my presence – they were either very sleepy or my field craft has improved!

The Wrens were manually over-exposed by +2 stops, (compared to auto exposure evaluative mode), due to the heavy back lighting.

Some of the bright OOF shrubbery surrounding the moulting male Wren was quite distracting, so I made an attempt in CS5 to clean it up using “Content Aware Fill” as my skills in selections and re-touching are very basic.

Cheers

Dennis
