    Congrats Bill Dix!!! Eager to Learn Spotlight Image for 8/20/2010

    "Foster's Tern Prequel"

    I posted the companion to this shot last week on Avian (http://www.birdphotographers.net/forums/showthread.php?70073-Forster-s-Tern)
    and received favorable comments except for the fact that only one wing was showing in that shot. Here's the shot taken a split-second earlier, with both wings in a banking pose, problem here being that the rear wing is in shadow. Used Al's tip of blending two versions of the RAW conversion, a stop apart, to bring some detail out of the overexposed breast; brightened the shaded rear wing and removed the blue cast from shaded portions. Curious to know if this works. C&C appreciated.
