Hi All,
This is my first post here. Up until now I’ve been only a reader, just enjoying your great work.
I was provoked to post this image by some friends who when seeing the original said it needs more processing. I am not that good post processing and I did not know where to start. This is what the image after processing.
What I have done is levels adjustment, high pass sharpening and unsharp mask in Capture NX because the eagle was a bit out of focus. Then I made local adjustments of brightness, contrast and saturation and then cropped a bit for composition.
What I wonder is whether the image looks overprocessed. I will post the original if needed.
All advices and comments are most welcome and appreciated.
These are the equipment details and settings:
Camera: Nikon D3
Lens: Nikon 300 mm, f/2.8G VRII + 1.7x TC
Focal Length 500 mm, f/5.6, 1/800s, ISO 400, Manual exposure.
