    Default Wandering Tattler

    These birds are pretty uncommon in Australia. They breed mostly in Siberia and Alaska and visit Australia to enjoy our wonderful summers. Today I saw my very first Wandering Tattlers. They are just now starting to arrive in Aus from their super long journey.
    Today was very overcast.
    Slight adjustments with levels, tiny increase in saturation, selective sharpening of bird.

    Well done, Chris. I like the soft light and HA. I might try a version darkening down the brighter BG rocks a bit.

    Agree about light rocks, but you take what you can get mate. Well done for that. Looks like the tattler was moving and probably with some speed.

    Tony's comment on the bright rocks is a useful insight and easily applicable. I'm enjoying this shot, because, as you pointed out, the tattler is a rarity in your neck of the woods and because, as Akos pointed out, you probably were shooting a bird in constant motion.
