    Default Osprey Portrait

    At the everglades lighting was bad. D1X w 600/4 w 14x, f8@1/250sec, ec-2/3, I didn't want to blow the whites. Thanks for looking, Rick

    Hi Rich Exposure looks fine, see detail in the shadows and whites doing well. As presented you can go brighter on the bird without blowing whites. I like the intense look and different crop Also fine long lens technique sharp at that slow shutter speed !!!

    Intense gaze in this portrait, Rick. I have tried a lightened version as Al suggested - also seemed to have a brownish cast which I have reduced then done some selective work on the eyes. NR and selective sharpening with some burning around the edges to draw the eye in to the face. I have pushed the eyes too far by way of illustration but if you do this on a layer and then back off the layer opacity to achieve what looks right.

    I too like the COMP and the intense eyes. Flash would have really helped. I like Tony's brighter repost (but for the fact that it looks a bit too blue).
