1/4000 sec; f/5.6; ISO 1000
Manual; Matrix metering




Post Processing:-
=============================
Raw Processing using C1P 20
No Cropping. Added canvas at the bottom
Nik 25-25 Filter on Bird at reduced opacity
Selective Color, added few points in Blacks
Tonal Adjustments in Viveza

Sharpening for Presentation
No Cloning




Let me know your thoughts and comments.


Thanks
