OK, another Kingfisher image from me, and unfortunately without a fish in his beak. This Pied was fairly close, so my objective was to create a close up portrait shot. For a little while now, Ive been playing around with detail extractor in Efex 4, but havent got around to applying it to an image for posting. This is my first attempt, and Im pretty happy with the results. Taken in the Pilanesberg National park.
