Cape Ganett

Canon Mark III + extender 1x4
1/800
f.10
iso 200
Manual setting


Thanks for tips

I like the incoming bird and number of gannets on the ground. The backlit effect is interesting but it looks a bit washed-out on my monitor, maybe some more contrast? I might also remove the specular highlights in the BG.

Where did you photograph these birds?

Thanks for your reply.
I shoot it in South Africa Bird Island
About the photo I will try reduce the contrast . How I could reduce the Highlights in the bg ? (you refer to the sky or also other points?)

Actually, I would increase contrast a bit. The image has a reddish cast, which I would try to remove and I meant the specular highlights, in other words the bright spots in the BG.

Now it is better ?
Thanks

Yes, the reduction of red and removing of the specular highlights improves it.

Here's another option, Giova. Set black and white points but brightened the midtones with curves and masked that to just the birds to avoid brightening the BG.
