Thanks Igor,
The clarity and crispness are as recorded by the camera. I added a wee bit of 
overall sharpening to the Cardinal pic but none to the Grackle. I generally 
just correct exposure, usually pulling down highlights and pushing shadows a 
bit when converting from RAW in PhotoShop. I sometimes add a tiny bit of 
overall sharpness, unrecognizable without pixel peeping, but refrain from even 
that when working with dark subjects like the grackle or when shooting in dim 
light, so as not to emphasize any noise. I do some dodging and burning as 
necessary. On the Cardinal pic, I burned in some slightly overexposed areas on 
the breast and dodged a bit of the underside which is in shadow.

PESOs Weekend Birds

[Igor PDML-StR]

Wow!
Stunning images!

You must have a great camera! :-)
(Just kidding. Referring to a frequent response from some random people.)

On a serious note, - if you don't mind, I am curious: For this type of 
images, how much of the clarity & crispness comes straight from the 
camera (with the particular lens/lens combination) and  how much is 
revealed ("pulled" [albeit not in the film-era terms]) in the 
post-processing?


Thank you in advance,

Igor

Both lovely shots, as usual.

Poe would have the grackle above your chamber door, though, rather than on an 
outdoor branch.

Thanks Alan. Grackles aren’t pretty, but they are fascinating.
