white-fronted Chat

[Mervyn Marsh]

A male white-fronted Chat (Epthianura albifrons) - taken at the WTP on 25/8/13 equipment used 5d mk iii, 2x iii extender and my car window to keep it steady. 1/2000 f/8 iso 400 .. this photo needed to have the exposure levels lifted in lightroom as it was dark and a 40% crop.

Nice and sharp with lovely eye detail, Merv. Underexposure protected your whites but has caused noise in the darks that have had to be opened up. A bit of NR on the BG should clean it up.

Superb image. Beautiful bird, nice details in whites, perch and composition.

Regards,
Satish.

A beautiful bird with a nice composition. Details look a little smudged in places, and I might run a bit more NR on the BG.

I like the overall look of the image, but agree some NR to the BG would be good. I'd also tone down the brighter spot behind the subject. Love the eye.

Nice looking bird, love the pose and the eye.
