Canon 7D Canon 500mm f4 L IS tripod head ISO 400 -0.3 1/800 sec f6.3
Shot taken from a garden hide sunflower seeds used as bait.
I lowered the highlights a little using an overlay mask and I brightened the area between the bill and the eye a little. Also lowered the highlights onthe lichens. Just a small amount of selective sharpening used on the bird. Recent posts suggest my colours have been a little cold. On this one I used the white dropper tool and checked the colours, perhaps still a little cool, then I used the daylight setting, maybe a little warm, then I opted for somewhere between the two.
All C & C welcome.
