This is one of my ever favorite bird portraits which I've captured outside of the bird park. It isn't the nicest bird ever seen but it's the moment which I liked about it where I've managed to captured this picture of the bird when it's chirping (or calling). The only problem I have is with the quality of the image when I've captured it. I've used my camera's full zoom range to focus on the bird, which is my camera's 10x optical zoom + 4x digital teleconverter zoom. Because of the digital teleconverter, the image starts to produce a little bit of noise plus a not so crystal clear photo. So to repair this, I've used the Adobe Photoshop Elements to do the trick. By using levels for exposure control, sharpening and artistic blur to remove the noise, I've reduced the defect from the digital teleconverter. I've also added a frame to it and extra lighting effects to produce a more artistic image. This shot was taken at shutter speed 1/640s with aperture value F5.6.
