Just back on the site after a busy few weeks - beautiful shot Joel. The detail in the dark feathers is really nice. Any special tricks in processing?Originally Posted by Joel Eade
This is a juvenile, newly fledged Pileated Woodpecker.....the adults bring the youngsters to the back yard feeders
thanks.....I have been using Nik Color Efex Pro which works very nicely.....especially the tonal contrast and detail extractor. I use them on a separate layer and usually blend it in only slightly....these help with details but you have be careful not to over do it. Also getting the exposure as bright as possible without clipping the whites will help tremendously.
