Cheers Mike! Actually I would agree. I think bringing out the colours does help quite a bit. Traditionally I've been trying to achieve a look that was similar to how the subject was as I saw it, but the pop of colour is what that shot needed.

For the Kookaburra photo I was going for rule of thirds, with the background as negative space, but frankly the background on the shot is a bit boring. Cropping might be the way to go here so I'll give that a try.

As I said, there are many ways to process an image - it all comes down to personal taste. And ultimately you are the one who has to be happy with your images.

I was in the botanical gardens in Sydney a couple of weeks ago with my wife. It's interesting to see what sort of images you saw and took compared to mine. I didn't see any kookaburras for a start!!

Had a look at your Flickr site. Some nice images there.
