"Step Away From The Edge..."

"Don't do it...things are never as bad as they seem...think what this would do to your kids..."

You get the gist...?

Had to crop this quite a bit to get the composition I wanted.

Wow. That's some crop - and against the light too.

If you don't have it already, get it - Faststone Image Viewer - it's free.
Load the image, hit Ctrl+T and play with the 'shadows' and the 'contrast' sliders.
If you need sharpness, try Ctrl+U
If you don't want the keyboard controls, just shove your mouse against the left side of the screen! (or the top or the bottom).
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Cheers for your comment David.

I do use Faststone already...find it great for tweaking images although i've not used the 'sliders'...they sound like they would be worth a try
compared to control via LHS of screen.

Must admit I wasn't expecting this image to look so good straight OOC and considering the bird was quite small in original image was delighted with the detail captured in its black plumage/feathers.

Regards

Karlo
