94 Jun 22 Reply I miscommunicated again. My workflow is sort of as follows. Download photos into Lightroom, reject unsatisfactory photos (framing, focus, lack of subject, etc.), review remaining photos for choosing the "best", and then edit these in either Topaz deNoise and/or Sharpen plug-ins in Lightroom, employ the Develop module, mask and "dodge and burn" as necessary, and remove spots and small distractions using the "heal" tool; all of this is performed in Lightroom. I keep both the raw and edited photos. Please let me know if this makes sense. Jun 18th
94 Jun 22 Reply First, thank you. Second, I use Topaz deNoise (generally for ISO greater than 1000) and Topaz SharpenAI (for ISO less than 1000); sometimes I will use deNoise first, and follow up with Sharpen. Third, for the background on this one, I used the masking tool in the Lightroom Develop module to mask the subject, then inverted the mask, and used the "Develop" slider to underexpose the inverted mask, thus the dark background. It works on some, not so much on others. Again, thanks. Jun 18th
94 Jun 22 Reply Thank you. For me, having enough megapixels to severely crop is a great tool; as is not worrying about ISO. Jun 11th
94 Jun 22 Comment Good photo. Have you considered using post processing to decrease exposure just a tad. Jun 10th
94 Jun 22 Comment Great photo as is. Perhaps it could be further enhanced by somehow lightening the crawfish in the owls' mouths. Perhaps you could use LR's brush tool to do "dodge and burn" edit in Lightroom on that part of the photo, or maybe use linear gradient? Jun 10th
94 Jun 22 Comment Great photo. Jun 10th
94 Jun 22 Comment Okay, I'm officially envious-hand held, no doubt! Great "bird in flight" photo. Jun 10th
94 Jun 22 Comment The depth of field you captured is great, particularly at f/9. And, the photo tells a story. Good job. Jun 10th
94 Jun 22 Comment Have always heard to never take an animal photo rear end first; however, you made it work. I do find the fawn's tongue hanging out to be a bit distracting, but can't offer any suggestions as to how to fix it. This is a common problem for me when taking "large" animal photos. Jun 10th
