Shadow/Highlight protection, crop, curve to lighten and trying to bring out details in black, lighten iris, NR and sharpen.
Been looking for terns but they were on the wrong side of the bride with strong black light, so I decided to have fun with the gulls instead. After spend time with the gulls for a while I noticed something moving under the bridge, then suddenly this guy come up. Manage to get 3 shots, none are great but this is the third shot from the serie.
Since the setting was set for gull with direct sunlight, but this bird was under the bridge shadow (only part of the head and tail gets sunlight) so the original image was badly underexpose. The image look soft, the focus is not really on the eye, the color a bit strange due to lighten heavy underexpose image, but I still happy since I didn't expect to catch this guy in flight, so this tell me that someday I might be able to.
All comments and suggestions are welcome.
