Flamingo in a foggy morning

[Tiago Caravana]

This Flamingo was pictured in a foggy morning from my hidrohide.

EXIF: Nikon D4 | 700mm | f8 | 1/3200 | ISO 800

PP: PS6 - Cropped from horizontal, levels, contrast, shadows & highlights, small rock and bird removed from the BG, smart sharpen

All comments are welcomed and much appreciated!

Nice image Tiago. I like the pose, the muted background and the colour on the wing. It just needed a little more light on the head to bring out the eye. Well done.

Nice concept but well under-exposed. For the repost: Curves, NIK 50/50 on the bird, Eye Doctor Work, & Contrast Mask on the face. All as detailed in Digital Basics.

Thank you very much Arthur!
I do have a lot to study and learn about PP techniques

You are welcome. Part of the problem here was surely an underexposed original. This should help you learn to get the right exposure in the fog:
