Beautiful Grey! They are awesome birds!

Watermark is a little out of control, don't you think?

I love the pelican! You can tell his personality, I feel, from that shot, and the colors are simply GORGEOUS! Just to nick-pick, can you get a bit more detailed on the left side of the lower neck?

The Pelican is truly a amazing image. the Parot is well composed, and exposed, but your watermark is just off the charts. Why?

I like both shots especially #1............watermarks are very distracting.

Pelican? Jako Parrot? WHERE?

**Squints at monitor** Oh, I think I see them now.

...Nope, never mind- just more watermarks.

nice,both the shots...but in both the highlights are a little bit more....tfs.

i am really sorry about the watermark but as i sell the photos on stock sites, i can't just put a little watermark in a corner where it could easyly be erased. Anyway, thanks for the advices and i will post more in the future here as well as in the macro section, the wildlife and macro being my favorite subjects. A good day to you.

i thought that adding a watermark in PP is an option that you don't have to use for every picture. If that is the case, then why not just not include it for the few pictures you post here. The quality of any pictures downloaded from the site is way less then the min requirements for commercial/ad work.

Sorry, but this thread is useless without images.

OH WAIT!

There they are, barely poking out from behind that watermark

As for CC:

The first photo is pretty well composed, but you've got some gnarly highlights on the chest. I personally am not a fan of the second image, though I do love parrots. The framing feels tight, it should have had some space on the left, and more DOF so the beak wasn't so OOF.

I honestly don't mean this as an asinine question, I'm just curious, but do people actually buy these? Or perhaps this isn't indicative of your normal images?
