First image post in many years.
Colombia. Canon 5D Mark III, 300 F/2.8 + 1.4 + flash
ISO 1600 for fog and F/5.6
Heavy fog and drizzle allowed me to get close to these endangered parrots.
This shot was in a short break from the fog, but the histogram had a high
value of around 210. PS shadow/highlights wants to stretch that to 255, but
then the background is really bright. So I tweaked the lower values with 'curves'
but left the histogram more or less as it was. Cropped to about 1/3 sensor and
no other edits.
Comments about this photo welcome; it was a rare opportunity so want to
make the photo as good as it can be.
