Hi Harshad. The whites look good to me here, it looks like there is detail in them! The bright spots in the BG could be cloned out though. Very cool bird!:)
Hi - Whites are in check - Jut use your over exposure blinkies and your histogram, However some of your blacks are blocked - once again the histogram is your friend.
With black and white birds the key is SOFT LIGHT - otherwise the dynamic range is just to great.
The OOF foreground elements are a little distracting, as are the couple of hot spots in the background.
Like the low shooting angle and the noise looks fine.
Looking forward to seeing more :)
Hi Harshad,
I like the capture...your whites are within range, the blacks however are lacking details...looking forward to your next one...keep them coming...:cool:
