This is a great shot, but I find the colour noise level too distracting - there is a lot of red noise coming up on the bird that harms the shot. Otherwise its a fabulous capture, love the light and the bird's stance

Originally posted by GeneralE: Well, this is better than any of the shots I got, but I bet there was a lot more selective processing than I did, too -- I think I've "gotten back to basics" a little too much.

Not that much processing actually; a smidge of shadow/highlight, a bit of saturation boost. Only thing I did that's "extra" is place an empty layer set to "darken", sample the sky upper left, and draw a gradient with that color to mute some sun glare center top edge...

Yeah! Ain't the car great? Jejeje™ I have another exposure sans car, but after I saw the car the other looks so EMPTY :-)
