Can anyone please advise my what is the cause and cure (if any) for posterization(if it is the correct term) in the BG. The image was processed in LR3 doing only the basic adjustments, then CS6 with adjustment masked layers for levels, curves, and colour. Bird was sharpened on a separate layer, BG was blurred on separate layer to reduce noise. The original image was much bigger, cropped tighter because of "colour bands". No tool could remove it, try to desaturate area, blur tool on all different settings(luminosity,saturation etc). Before discarding image, I thought about posting it to a knowledgable audience to try and get advice. Is the bird sharp enough?
Here are the techs anyway:
Nikon D3S 600 F4+ 1,4TC
ISO 1000
1/400th @ 6,3
