This is a captive parrot at Alligator Farm near my house. He's under a tree canopy in shady light. Unfortunately, a shaft of light was hitting his head during my exposure. I used my 5D Mk11, 500 mm f/4 IS, 1.4 TC and a Better Beamer attached to my 550 EX flash. I was shooting at 400 ISO. Can't find my exposure right now.
The S/H tool did not help with the hot pixels on the head. In your opinion can they be toned down with burning
in PhotoShop without ruining the color. I still ticked with my exposure error. My Epson 2400 print with EPPG paper actually looks much better than the photo does in PS.
Please let me know what to do....

Thanks for the advise. Can't wait to read the tutorial on BPN. Still very ticked that I missed the exposure. Don't know if I can forget myself. I know better.....

First let me say you have a very good example of a Green-winged Macaw.......I sent you an email a few days ago explaining the difference between them...A Scarlet will have no facial feathering in the white area, or if they do they will be hard to see. Their wing color is yellow and blue. Here are a couple of links that show the difference.
Does the Farm have many types of Macaws? I am the very proud owner of two pet Green-wings. I raised them from about 4 weeks of age...they are now about 14 years old.
Sorry for my error. This is a green-winged macaw but they also have scarlet macaws. They do have many other species but they're caged. It makes me sad to see this. Many thanks for your correction.
