Black & White

Got this raven at the Grand Canyon about a year ago. Would appreciate suggestions regarding exposing these extremes.

Excellent exposure on the blacks Charl, and pin sharp. With regards to the exposure, if you are shooting in RAW, you can recover the blown areas in ACR, and then continue doing your normal pp work in whatever method/software you use. Great image. ( BTW, your name seems very South African )

Thanks Stuart. I might have the RAW image, so will see what I can do with it. Haven't worked with RAW much. And yes, SA born and raised - moved to the USA about 8 years ago.
