My first post here on BPN, however I recognize many (if not most all) of the folks here from other forums. I have posted this image previously and received mixed reviews....
I created this image at Green Cay Wetlands... I was trying to get an image with a smooth background, however that's much easier said than done when these little warblers are bouncing around all over the place in the vegetation along the boardwalk.
The original .NEF has a somewhat lighter background that has some distracting bright spots. In PP I used an adjustment layer to darken the background, however now my concern is that there's too much flash on the bird? Thanks in advance for any suggestions...
