Your bio says constructive comments are welcome; how do you process your pictures? This is a good picture but if it could be made sharper, especially the head, it could be magnificent.

I used Adobe Photoshop, but I am no expert on using it, and my camera is not one of the really expensive ones. But as they say, it's not the tool, but the person using it with skill that makes a wonderful picture. Thank you so much for your input. 😊

Behind The Lens

Location

In the Atlanta Georgia Zoo.

Time

This was an incredibly rainy day in the afternoon.

Lighting

The light is diffused by the rain and the huge aviary wiring.

Equipment

I used a handheld Nikon digital camera with a zoom lens.

Inspiration

I loved this bird's attitude and fierceness.

Editing

I did some minimal cropping.

In my camera bag

In my camera bag I carry an extra battery, a lens wipe, and a small tripod if allowed. I travel as light as possible.

Feedback

I almost turned around and didn't go to the zoo, because of the rainy weather. But, the cloudy light brought out the colors of the animals, and as a bonus it was less crowded.
