    Default Two Ospreys

    Here's another photo, this time the two Ospreys were captured mid flight at the same location as my previous post. I was annoyed that I clipped the wing of the lower Osprey, and RawDigger showed (again) that it was 1 stop underexposed., but it was the best frame in the burst. ACR and PS adjustments but only a minor crop.

    D500/500PF,1/3200th sec@f5.6, iso1600.

    Paul, there is a lot to be proud of here. The overall capture was strong, with both in focus and great viewpoints of each with strong action.

    I think you could bring up the lum on the faces of both as it feels a touch dark there. Otherwise, there is a visible 'smudge' on the right side of the upper subject.

    Otherwise, yes, clipping the bottom wing makes this one unsalvageable, but nonetheless we can still take away some processing areas of praise and for improvement.

    Hi Brian. You've got a keen eye for sure! didn't notice the "smudge"...but a quick healing tool click fixed that. I also brightened up the faces as suggested, and yes, it looks better. Thank you.
