The Receptionist (Secretary Bird)
I found this image taken in March 2012 in the Kalahari (in very harsh light) and re-processed it tonight. I did quite a big crop here, did not touch the background much- no cloning or painting, only blurred it at 100%. Started in Lightroom and worked on exposure, brightness, then upped the clarity a tad. Then in CS6 I lightened the eye using levels and sharpened the bird (unsharp mask). I am trying to do less these days, I used to over-process my images and looking back these days I feel I have to delete everything and start all over again.
Exif info for this image is:
Nikon D3S
Nikon VR 500mm F4
ISO 400
1/3200s
F6.3
Critique and comments much appreciated.
Warmest regards,
