CommentMy first photos for critique, want feed back to improve photos and post processing.
Processed with Lightroom, Topaz sharpen AI and De-noise Ai
The image was shot using a 600mm f4 lens on monopod from a boat, as the bird was deep under some mangroves the iso was boosted to 2000 and the shutter speed down to 1/100 @F4
it was processed using Topaz De-Noise as the original contained a lot of noise. then reprocessed with Sharpen AI as there was a small amount of motion blur from the camera.
Highlights were pulled down slightly and some clarity and texture added.(my first serious shoot using this lens)
EquipmentNikon D850, 600mm F4 FL
LocationDaintree, Queensland
