6DII / 500 F4

I really like the interaction in this image, Balan. I’m a bit confused by the lighting in this image. It looks like very warm light on the birds and branch, but at the same time it is quite harsh with deep shadows and the sky is a very brilliant blue that doesn’t seem to go with warm light.

Aesthetically, I think bringing up the shadows in the birds and cutting back on the saturation of the sky might produce a more balanced image.

Denis…thanks for the comment. I think this did not process well. Let me pull this out

You have captured a great story! Looks like the light was very harsh…which kind of fits with the story :laughing:. It would be great if we could see the eyes of the bird leaving but still okay if that’s not possible (I would find processing this very difficult…it’s great we have people like @Dennis_Plank with so much knowledge and experience.)
