Comment | On a recent trip to Mutawintji National Park I was astonished at the number of Budgerigars that inhabit the park. Our campsite seemed to be a favourite spot for the Budgies, giving me ample opportunities to photograph these beautiful little birds. I have lodged this image before, but thank you to Glenn Pure for pointing out to me that the image was too dark . I should have processed the image and not posted it for a few days,reviewed the image again and then maybe I would have decided that it was way too dark. So I reloaded the Tiff file that I had saved and made the following adjustments. 1.Increased the exposure. 2. I selected the background and adjusted the highlights and shadows on the tree. 3. Downsized the image.3 Applied a small amount of sharpening to the bird and saved the image. A much better result I think. | ||||||||||||||||||
