Hi!
I haven't been able to process my photo of that Point Pelee Red Breasted
Grosbeak in a way that pleases me completely. The original was
underexposed by about a stop because I had thought I was going to be
shooting him against leaves rather than open sky. (I should have locked
in a manual exposure.) Anyway, i've had a tough time pulling detail out
of the black feathers without causing a lot of noise and general
ugliness. I went back for a second and third attempt. I think the new
one is a bit of an improvement even though there is less detail. Am I
right?
Here's the original, which I posted a couple of days ago:

Here's the new version:

Should I delete the old version, the new version or both?
Paul, can't you stack them one upon the other is PhotoShop and then
blend the bird from the old one to the the rest of the new one? I'd say
that would be the perfect option, at least for me...
I still like a bit more the new one...
Boris
