Another of yesterday. I did invest a bit more into processing this one.

Muscovy Duck

Question; do you use Iris Enhance for your bird shots? I ask because the eye looks a bit dark but it's possible these ducks have such eyes. I have a preset in my LR brushes with the settings. Basically it is used to brush the eye and make it pop slightly. It's common practice in bird photography and it makes a serious difference.

I used it here:



You don't really consciously notice it in a shot itself but since we humans are attracted to eyes, it gives a whole different impression. Maybe you used it and the duck's eyes are even darker. If, ignore me.

I use ViewNX2 for processing, so I don't have those options.
