Taken in same spot as deer (petting zoo in Charleston). This one was taken thru a fence. Underexposed by two stops to help zero fence out and pop colors. Open shade White Balance to warm. This guy was very angry at me and hissed a couple of times! I felt bad and backed off, still got a nice close crop.

Nice detail on the feathers and great color. Great composition - good thing he did not attack your camera lol

This is awesome. I see I need to find a zoo and take some animal shots. I can't believe the textures.

Beautiful photo with wonderful color and texture. Focus is good, and the lighting is perfect. His beak is almost translucent.

Excellent capture, and good use of camera functionality to get what you wanted. The fence is troubling for my eye, as I catch it as a pattern across the chest that moves to the right and distracts me a bit (not sure what processing can be done on that). And yes, it's best not to get the wildlife mad at you!

Great colors and detail. Sounds and looks like you have a firm grasp of what you can do with the proper in camera settings. This one will probably be just flat out wild after editing - nto that it needs it.

awesome photograph .. fantastic bright colours and great shot of that bird ... that eye might've gone good in the circle challenge?? .. love your underexposure, it really works, those colours really do pop ..
ahhhh white balance!! .. i usually do that in my RAW program .. think now is the time to do it in camera!!! ... you've used your camera so well for this shot .. the details are excellent .. your deer was a stunner as well....

Beautiful colours. I am impressed with the way you made the fence "invisible" :)

Wonderful colors - thanks for explaining your process. It's so interesting what we can do in-camera.

Amazing colors! Great comp, again. I learned something, too - didn't know that by underexposing you could reduce the effect of the fence, but it makes sense, now that I think about it. You really do a good job of thinking through your shots. Appreciate VERY MUCH you sharing that process with us.
