    Judging by the photo, it looks like there were some bushes/trees directly behind. Why would you focus on the shadow behind? This isn't a studio shoot...you take what you can get.

    The birds were at the edge of a wooded area and had only stepped out of it into the early morning sunlight when the photo was taken. I saw no need to edit it out or lighten it if I had the shot would not have been natural. Less editing is best in my humble opinion. thumb.gif

    You are right about the less editing part.... But IMHO, if a little bit of editing will make the image better, why not?

    It's a beautiful capture, and you are correct, keeping the image natural with less editing is best in documenting nature. thumb.gif
