Found this guy swimming around in a dam up the Hunter Valley.
Very hot day around 40 degrees C.


As you can tell from the exposure data, very harsh lighting conditions. I'm not sure what i could of done to prevent the burn out of some of the plummage.
Would this pic benefit from cropping??

Hi APOLLO_CAT,

I have taken some liberty to do the highlight/shoadow adjustment to
your photo with PhotoShop CS2.

This is what it looks like:



I hope you don't mind and please let me know if you would like this to be removed.

Hi Christiand,
Not offended at
In fact i'd be delighted if you could share with me how you gained more detail in the shadows. Thanks.
ps I only have PS 7.

Hi APPOLO_CAT,

I guess a smilar if not the same result can be achieved by
changing Levels.
I don't know PS7 well, however try Image, Adjustments, Levels
and change the levels to: 0 2.0 255

HTH,
