Taken back in May in Fort Myers, FL. Techs are a bit wonky. This was back when I was shooting AV. I'm now a convert to Manual. Finally.
This was a vertical that I cropped to horizontal. NR, sharpening, and whites recovery. There is some discoloration at the base of the bill that is in the original, didn't feel it was necessary to remove but please let me know if you disagree.
What I liked best about this frame are those two flipped up feathers, and that background. And of course that it's a stilt, one of my all time favorite birds.
Thanks so much in advance for any comments and critiques.
