Autumn's round the corner, Northern Pintail Drake
This was taken at Bosque at a very sweet spot that did not disappoint as the ducks flew in to roost for the evening. I chose a pano bc I love the habitat and colors. I am at a loss in terms of color balance, color cast, etc, ... I don't know where to start and I haven't done my homework yet to make some gains. I looked for Artie's Digital Basics II and found I had only purchased Digital Basics I, so I invested in II. I mention that in case someone suggests studying Artie's work. I have made some gains but continue to study... Also, what is the general "rule" regarding blacks in the image that are not the bird? Do they also need to be exposed properly or left as is... Here, no under or over exposure. Thanks
