Hello all,
Thank you for this opportunity. This photo was a grab shot while on a private tour at Big Cat Rescue, in Tampa Florida. This facility takes in and cares for retired show cats as well as neglected and abused cats from poachers, illegal breaders, drug dealers, etc. Since this is not a public park, and you are close enough to pet the animals, all tours are escorted with strict rules, I took this one on the run, knowing it would need help in pp.
My photoshop skills are lacking to say the least and I am lost as to how to brighten this image. The only thing I can think of is to process it twice (+ exposure for the bird and - exposure for the water) then combine the 2 versions.
Maybe I am wrong here, but I feel there is a great picture hiding in this mess.
shot with D200, raw in aperture mode. WB was on auto, it was a sunny day but this bird was under a large shade tree. Raw and exif available.
Thank you for your time
Peace
Mark
