There is a moat running the entire length of the reserve, which separates the public from the wildlife-orientated area of the reserve. This means that the birds can live in peace from the general public and any dogs that are walked through the reserve. I included this image to show a vista shot of the reserve, as well as to show the moat that separates the different parts of the wetlands reserve.
The reserve has attracted birds such as swans for breeding and nesting. I used the technique used previously, where I blurred the background and the foreground to create an emphasis on the subject of the image.
This is a robin at the Wetlands Reserve at Cardiff Bay. Although the image is technically correct, it could be better if it was a close-up of the robin. This particular robin was taunting me for about 45 minutes, as whenever I got close, or put my camera up to my eye it would fly to another branch, and I could never get quite close enough.
I did use Photoshop to brighten these images as they were a little dull and underexposed, and I think that they look a lot better after they have been altered.
