Yes, they do have an air of self confidence for ones so small, a bit like my chihuahua lol

Thank you 😊

Tldr: yes and no, because I shoot in RAW.

I shoot in RAW so I have an import profile I use in lightroom for all my bird photos that's basically balancing the exposure, shadows and highlights with some noise reduction and sharpening. I don't apply any colour correction.

I then mess around with the ones I want to make a tiff from or on rare occasions print. I usually end up making it worse lol

This one was a bit different, in that the bird was well lit and I was happy with everything but the leaves were really blue as they were in deep shade. I looked at changing the white balance to bring the greens out or messing with the channels, but in the end I left it pretty much alone.

When I started digital photography I found it difficult to deal with everyone's opinions on the look and feel of my images. I have a taste but it's not to everyone's liking. This many years later I have kind of decided you can't please everyone but I am really glad you like it.

I have a couple of others I think you will like if you like this one. I'll post them up over the next few days.
