Photo taken di Canon 7D + EF 500mm f/4L IS
The subject was unfortunately backlit and not very close, but with a little photoshop I was able to bring out some detail...
Comments and suggestions are welcome.
Bye!

Post processing left a dark halo on the BG edge of the bird. I like the comp.

I too see a halo from the processing. I do like the composition and pose of the bird.

Dear Alan and Terry
thank you for your comment. I had not noticed the halo but it surely is there!
Indeed the raw file has no halo...I'm trying to understand how the artifact was generated during post processing...
I'll have to try the processing again...
I think that reading other's comments helps a lot, because sometimes I concentrate my attention on certain details of a picture and miss some other features...
Best Regards
Riccardo :wavey:

Hi Riccardo. Tough lighting situation, the right side of the tit is somewhat overexposed, perhaps you could isolate that and lower the exposure/do some highlight adjustment on that area. The crop is showing its affects with noise in the background.

I like the pose and the demure look you captured. Exposure sure looks tough with the backlighting. Sharon
