Nice shot Ade, you were close

 

[fracster]

Thanks,too close,I chopped its tail off.........:bang:



Whites are a bit blown on the back as well,I think.

 

[toonamp]

They are blown, thats a shame. Could you recover them in Photoshops Shadow /Highlights? Nothing you can do about the tail.

The white feather detail on the front is excellent though, and the field of focus is just right

 

[fracster]

Quick play, better?

Thanks for the help..........

The first I love, the 2nd looses the punch. The blown highlights are hardly an issue, such a tiny area of the photo.

The first is excellent, one to be proud of

Gary.

Thanks Gary,I must admit I prefer the first,though that iddybiddy blown bit annoys me........

Thanks Gary,I must admit I prefer the first,though that iddybiddy blown bit annoys me........

I that case, I would use a soft overlay from the 2nd shot, on ONLY the blown area. Just put the layer on top, and use a very soft edged 100% erasure, remove all around the blown area, job done

Gary.

 

[toonamp]

I agree with Garry, Ade. The first is still the better of the two. I meant use the magic wand on that tiny area of blown white that's bugging you, then the shadow/highlight on that alone.

Nowt wrong with the rest of the shot

Good capture Ade, those highlights are buggers arn`t they? :bang: Still nice composition and the rest of the pic seems to be exposed well

 

[HappySnapper]
