Lovely shot Jo, love the texture, real depth to the bird. Did you use detail extractor or just clarity or both?
Hi Jon, all post processing was done in Lightroom. After minor adjustments on the original I converted the image to a 16 bit TIFF in Photoshop. Back to Lightroom with the TIFF, sharpening and exposure. Then I masked the background working on only that to get the look and exposure I wanted. Double processing the image, settings for the bird and settings for the background different. I have NIK collection on the computer but do not use it. Thank you for viewing and commenting.
