Out on a stroll

Taken from inside a car

Recover highlight, rotate CWW, crop, NR, brighten ceek, linear burn for white detail, set white point, bright and saturate eye, and sharpen.

This was taken at an eariler time than the cormorant one so the sun was not so high up. However the sun was not behind me so I need some heavy eye lightening. Car did act as a good hide, but hard to maneuver around, especially on small road :p

I just noticed that I have to renew my membership today, so it must have been a year already since I've been to this wonderful site. Learn a lot over the past year, thank you everybody!!!

All comments and suggestions are welcome.

Hi, good detail with even lighting. Agree with Al on the backround and pose. I don't feel you need quite so much room in front of the bird....
