    Just a generic Northern pintail photo. I don't really get many opportunities to photograph ducks. So I was excited to come across a few pintails last weekend. It was a little bit later in the morning. I went back in the afternoon hoping to get some photos in better light but they were gone. So I have to be satisfied with the ones I got.

    Raw conversion with C1 pro 2021. In PS CC, I used linear burn on the overexposed whites on the throat to try to extract some details. Also smoothed out a couple of distractions in the background (silhouettes of drainage pipes ). NR in Neat image and smart sharpening in PS. I chose to use Neat Image for noise reduction because I was having trouble with Topaz. For some reason Topaz was introducing purple color fringing on the boundaries of the light and dark colors of the wing feathers.
