CommentThis was taken at Healesville Sanctuary. There were multiple people etc in the background. In Lightroom, after cropping and Denoising, I used Select Object on the owl then Duplicated and Inverted and took all the Tone sliders to the left. I then used Photoshop to clean the edges of the owl, then returned to LR to work on the tone.
EquipmentCanon R5, RF 100-500mm lens. 500mm. 1/5000, f/6.8, ISO 6400.
LocationHealesville, Victoria
