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.

mugley says:

Thanks mate. This is a composite from two images - the background was blurred in post.

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.

This works really well - it wasn't really apparent it was edited until you bought it up :)

benrobertsabq says:

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.

~David says:

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.

Excellent pp work!

ming mong says:

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...
Posted 31 months ago. ( permalink )

mugley says:

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.
