Whimbrel in Foam

[Richard Unsworth]

My first pic processed using Nik CE4

I used the detail extractor, and tonal contrast and have to say pretty impressed with the progy.

So this whimbrel gave me the run around on the wild and beautiful beach in Torteguero, NE Costa Rica

I was able to stalk him and get down on but stomach

Raw - DPP, color noise removed
Tiff in PS5, levels, Topaz NR, Crop, small almost full shot, NECP4, resized and sharpened

Your comments important as I can use suggestions for NCE4 if poss, perhaps gurus can step in

I like this editing and the great details.

I like the low angle, very good details. Tke browns look very nice against the silvery water. I like this.

Great pose with the raised foot, very nice details, sweet water background. I am seeing a slight halo, might want to correct that otherwise very nice.

Gary.
