Redkite catching some sun (feedback appreciated)
(lemmy.world)
A lucky snap of a red kit turning in some sun. I love the way the tail is illuminated and tried to brighten the body a little, but I am still getting to grips with editing in 'proper software' and would love to get some feedback.
Learn about levels or curves (slightly different tools) if you want to brighten the underside of the bird without it looking unnatural.
Those are the tools to play with (might also be called Gamma Adjustment), but I think in this particular case, because of those lovely areas where the sun is shining through, having the rest of the body dark (and the sky bright) works really rather well.
