Sulphur-crested Cockatoo

[Colin Driscoll]

This Cocky came down to the salt water's edge to browse on some sea lettuce.
1DXII 600mm F/4L III HH
1/3200 f7.1 iso800
Lots of PP for this one.
Cropped to feature that lovely crest and cut out the shaded lower parts.
H&S to remove a blue cast in the shadows and a red cast (rock reflection) in the lower body.
De-saturated the blue BG and a little bit of NR.
Dodged the eye to bring out the iris.
Light sharpen on the bird.
