[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 245746, member: 9240"] At the risk of sounding like I'm advocating accidental overexposure ::what::, you can try pulling back on the highlights in post to recover some of the detail in the white feathers on the neck. Even in the attached jpeg there's enough information to show that the details are there to be recovered. [ATTACH=CONFIG]66546._xfImport[/ATTACH] That's the beauty of shooting RAW, there's so much more light information present in the file than what is shown at any given time - you just need to access it. "Over-exposure", particularly in difficult lighting conditions and with detailed and varying subject (like birds), is sometimes just a result of one interpretation of the photo based on the camera profile used in ACR or in producing the JPEG. If you knock the exposure down and see the details then they are there to be accessed and not lost to overexposure. Some situations are impossible to capture "in camera", so check the histogram and as long as you don't have a wall on the left or right you should be good. [/QUOTE]
