Attachment 171828
Photographed near a waterhole in Etosha National Park, Namibia. I liked this for the OOF zebras in the background... but thought the perch and plumage on the bird looked nice too. Oh, I haven't attempted to rescue the underside tail area: black OOF feathers and nothing of interest to recover there. Thanks for looking and any comments you provide.
Capture details: Canon 80D with EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM at 400mm handheld. Manual exposure 1/3200 sec, f5.6, ISO 500. Processed in Canon DPP 4 (digital lens optimiser @ 50, sharpness = 3, crop, lighting adjustments, default NR) then exported 16 bit TIFF to Photoshop Elements with Neat Image NR plugin. Very light NR applied to bird and stronger NR to background. Sharpened in PSE (Sharpness tool, remove Gaussian blur) after final size reduction.
