Dark-Eyed Junco, Looking at You


I tried a couple of edits on this image, but I decided on trying to edit the RAW image file in Photoshop Elements. With the other edits, I would get the bright white-out effect on the bottom right-hand side of the bird, where the little white feathers are next to its leg, which really gave it an unpleasant look. The problem was that the rest of the bird was so dark (shot at -1 step on the exposure bias to increase the photo speed) that my attempts to brighten the dark parts would whiten out the white parts.

The image still seemed somewhat dull, so I ran it through Photomatix and got the following result.



Thanks for stopping by!
