From the Crow at the Ocean series!
Anything, I think the lighting was better from this angle. For all who commented on the other 2 photos I’m curious if this turned out better to your eyes!
Is this a composite: No

Slight sharpen, lowered highlights,contrast, and exposure slightly.
The angle of the light does work better for this image, Vanessa. I do think I’d bring down the exposure on the back of the crow as it looks pretty gray. I know the light has that effect reflecting off the oils in the plumage, but I’d like to see it a bit darker. However, that’s just my opinion and others may well disagree.
Hi @Dennis_Plank I think I agree, I just brought exposure down and brought contrast and shadows up all just slightly, what do you think of this?..
I like the repost, Vanessa. Much richer tones in the plumage.
@Dennis_Plank I agree! Thanks for the tip on how to do it and even what to look for! I really appreciate it!
Much better. The black plumage looks good but even a half stop darker would work.
This is a much better image, Vanessa. I’m with David that slightly darker would work, but this is fine as presented.
