Incidental Northern Mocking bird outside my balcony. Didn't have a picture of one yet.

The composition here looks boring. Should I crop more?

It's a boring photo, cropping won't help. You should have gotten closer to eye level. Put your camera right above the water level next time. The light isn't doing you favors either.
It's not your fault, this is a genre where true real keepers are very few and far between and more luck than anything. Just get out there more and consider the forecast. You can use windy.com or nws hourlies for cloud coverage forecasts. Fog looks cool too.

I greatly enjoy seeing a bunch of non-perfect photos and common birds too, the web is already filled with great shots

This isn't a thread for photography it's a thread for bird posting and discussion. This may be a photography board but every thread doesn't have to be about photography.

Got a lot of good shots today. Will make edits over the next day or two. Really happy with the male and female mergansers I got. They'll be near the end.

Fast moving Red-crowned Amazons. Couldnt zoom in fast enough to get more detail of the in-flight group, but I got some great perched ones later in my set.

Yeah, that kind of happens when you're shooting up into basically nothing except tree tops. Here's a rare Mandarin Duck I got today. Lighting was poor and it was stationary under an acorn tree for most the time I spent observing it.

Still smudgy. Stop denoising so much, it looks like an AI upscale.

Thats just the plumage in poor light; its not going to look good, denoise or not.

>there's no noise because there was poor light
Is it opposite day today? I know how cameras work anon. You focused slightly behind the bird toward the tail and the leaf layer and you denoised. It makes everything look flat and boring and smudgy and makes the bird look waxy.

I don't think you're comprehending. You're also being unreasonably argumentative. Poor lighting will hide details. Denoising will clear the noise and make the poor details more visible. The "smudging" is not because of the denoising, it's because of the poor lighting. My focus was fine.

You're completely ignoring the fact that I accurately noticed how heavily denoised your photo is. Next you need to accept the fact that you missed focus. As for the subjective side of things, I think it's a flat boring photo. It's over processed in the exact same way as the rest of your shots here. Back to objectivity:
>shadows pushed way too high to try and compensate for poor exposure
>saturation and vibrance pushed to make up for washing out your colors with previously mentioned step
>heavily denoised
This is why you have haloing and banding on top of your flat artificial looking snapshots. Just trying to help but you're too high on the fumes generated from polishing turds.

AF box was on the eye and at f/10; focus was fine. You're now complaining about editing and won't take the raw because you're an armchair warrior. I'm disengaging from this conversation with you.

Lmao you already posted it at 3000x2000 so we can see you focused on the leaves behind the bird. You just keep outing yourself as a notphotog too; Learn how to use your eyes instead of relying on computers, retard. Your full auto approach is why your shots look like ass, shitty compositions aside.
