About the Image(s)
This photo was taken with the Olympus OMD EM-1, Mark II with the Panasonic 100-400 mm lens (equivalent to 200-800 mm) on Shutter Priority (not sure what that was as it doesn't show on the breakdown) with an ISO of 640 and Aperture of 7.1 at the full 400mm range, which pulls it in at 800mm on Pattern with the flash on the camera. Very pleased with the camera/lens combination and still learning how to use it!
Didn't do a whole lot to this one. As you can see the original was way too dark, so I went into Photoshop/Image/Adjustments/Shadows and Highlights to bring out the features and then went into Curves and did a little more contrast and that is about it! Added the inner stroke and outer stroke and canvas and signature.
This round’s discussion is now closed!

The bird could use a bit more detail.. it's just a little flat.
I would darken the background on the bottom (left and right sides); not quite as dark as the original. It would keep the eye focused on the tree & bird.   Posted: 07/21/2017 10:37:04

I would darken the noisy blank areas and crop some off of the right side   Posted: 07/24/2017 21:15:41
