it's a great shot but it can use better RAW conversion. Are you using DPP ?

can you send me the raw file?

[Ritesh Nangare]

Thanks Arash .... , yes it is prosses in DPP 3.5 using DPP Raw Conversation settings..... Yes I can shear the RAW FILE with you..... But in india tomorrow is national holiday and my office will open on Saturday. All the file and harddisk keep in office so I will on Saturday.

Nice action shot, the colors are amazing. The frog in the beak tops it off.

OK, I will process it for you once I get the file

DPP 3.X is obsolete BTW, download DPP4.

Looks great to me. I will be really interested to see what Arash is going to do with it. I would perhaps try to calm the highlights on the beak and eye. Great capture.

Love the neon colors, and that unhappy frog. Did you saturate? I hope Arash will post his re-work.

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the colors, catch and composition. Look forward to seeing more on the processing of this image. Well done Ritesh.

Yes Bill littlebit saturated littlebit ...... Not too much by 5 to 10 in PS

Fantastic frame Ritesh!! Love the pose with the frog in mouth and the colors are just awesome. Maybe reduce the saturation a little and the noise in the blacks but besides that, this one is killer. The perch and the BG look great too. Very nice!
