In the OFS I submitted this photo, which I had lightened and cropped using PS.
This is the original photo with no PS work.
Which, in your opinion is the best? I had comments on the submitted photo about it being too burnt out on the feathers. It was a bit of juggling as I wanted the patterns on water to show, but I think most people thought it too burnt. Any comments welcome. |

| The original photo is definitely better. It looks really nice. You can really notice how the one you submitted was lightened a bit too much. Perhaps you just need to adjust your monitor a bit, it might be making things look too dark so you feel the need to lighten them up. |

I agree that the submitted one looks a little burned out. The original has more depth and contrast. Maybe you can play with levels a bit to try and get both the water patterns and keep the feathers from washing out. I have been trying to bracket my shots like this, that have such a ifference in background and subject. Gives me more to work with later in PS.
Edit: spelling

"Is it a case of too much photoshop?"
No, it is a case of missing the proper exposure. The post-processing just accentuated the hot-spots of the original.

i have a pic just like this where the water is almost black just so I didnt lose the details of the feathers to over exposure..i had to go back and reshoot on different settings
but yes i think when you lightened it, it washed out the pic and overexposed your bird
the orinal is better |

The original is better. It has a more warm feeling. the processed one seems overexposed on the feather.
If you are using Photoshop CS, you can try the Shadow/highlight adjustements, or else since advanced editing is allowed, you might try dodge/burn selectively. |
