urban raptor
15 January 2010 - Dang. If I'd known how much attention this one was going to get, I would've done the original in a size much bigger than 800x600.
This photo was taken on April 29, 2007 in Melbourne, Victoria, AU.

I love this shot, I just love how it shows this Kestrel in an urban background and I love how the background isn't too blurred by the apeture setting.

Thanks mate. This is a composite from two images - the background was blurred in post.
Frankyboy5 (74 months ago | reply)
OK, but I am a person who would rely on not editing pics (except for saturation, sharpness because that's something that my camera isn't so good at). Still a good shot.

Cheers - these are the original photos:

This works really well - it wasn't really apparent it was edited until you bought it up :)
benrobertsabq (74 months ago | reply)
Really well done. I still couldn't pick it as a composite because the DOF makes it work so well. Great pick on the images to merge.

Very unique and interesting!
Micapixel (74 months ago | reply)
lol, i seriously thought that was for real!
~David (74 months ago | reply)
That's just awesome. Seeing the orginal shots both adds to it and takes from it for me. Mostly I think it adds, making one great shot from 2 good ones. Cheers for posting the originals.
graspnext (74 months ago | reply)
Excellent pp work!
ming mong (74 months ago | reply)
Like everyone has said AWSOME! Great to see the originals as well... I think I need to bring out the GIMP as well ;) Does gimp do tone mapping for HDR? Also where was pic 1 of 2 taken? I think I have an idea but then again...
mugley (74 months ago | reply)
Thanks everyone.
@ ming mong - no tone-mapping in the GIMP I'm afraid.
The kestrel shot was taken from my balcony (story here), which incidentally is visible in the background now.

Love this, Mugley, but I am just a tad disappointed that it's not real.

Ahh... makes more sense now with the two image composite explanation. I saw it over on SSC (gave it a 10) and had to come find it here. Amazing work mugley!

Thanks again everyone. Special thanks to Mark for the vote!
