Hi -
Here is a different image from the same series. I used this image and made some changes that everyone suggested.
I chose a vertical crop to cut out most of the extra bright leaves at bottom right.
- Noise reduction on bg
- Burned the right side of the bird.
- Adjusted the color balance to remove some of the bluish hue
- Sharpened the owl's face and brightened the eyes
Still maybe too much noise in bg.
Thanks, Ashleigh
