RB Nuthatch & Moss

Gallery: AvianPosted July 29, 201812,102 views6 comments

Although this Red Breasted Nuthatch was rather far away I think the postprocessing works, even at iso-1600. The perch is different.

Iso-1600, 600 mm, F9, 1250th, D 500, tripod, 50% of full frame, DxO photo lab, Adobe camera raw 10.3, Topaz adjust, TK sharpening action at 30%

Hi David,

Looks good. The only thing I would do is bump up the contrast slightly before printing. Other that--a fine shot of this RB nuthatch devil

David, I really like this shot. The detail and color is awesome, and the bird really stands out nicely on this perch, with the soft smooth background. I don't see how it can get any better than this!

The larger image needs to be seen to do justice to this. No nits.

Excellent, David. I do agree with Jim on the contrast-the Nuthatch looks just a bit washed out to me, but I'm not viewing on a calibrated device.

Excellent capture, David! The large image is necessary viewing in this one. The moss adds some nice secondary interest for me. Well done!
