King of the Hill v2

[Brian Sump]

So the first one I posted was not warmly received. I found this one in the series of the Egrets closer to the point of conflict.

Also corrected several things based on previous comments. I know the concrete rocks are still not desirable but hoping this one turned out better.

D850
Sigma 500mm

C1P - reduced blue tonal correction, reduced contrast, shadows and highlights, sharpened and mild noise reduction
PS - Used multiply mask to bring out details in whites, raised mids and reduced highs a little more (lum masks), cleaned up bkg, cropped for aesthetics. Re-sharpened for output
