The birds are very centered, and kind of dark. Although I use Photoshop and not Affinity software, I think a lot of the sliders do the same thing. Would you allow me to work on one of your photos and post my results here? I have a couple of ideas that I think would improve your images.
Please do - I would appreciate any comments or suggestion. I will also post some photos of hummingbird from our backyard that I took in September.
This will take a couple of replies.
First up, Camera Raw. There's a little 'Auto' button that I press first. That's normally a pretty good place to start. I'm sure I moved a couple of the sliders after that, but probably not all that much.
Part two. I the made the canvas bigger, this made it so I could expand the left side of the shot, so I could then crop the shot to more of a rule of thirds image.
Finally, I had to run a fairly aggressive noise reduction to clean up the artifacts from the area that I stretched. Then save, and here it is. I think I dodged the eye a bit also.
Thank you for comments and work in improving images - I will try to do something similar on the Affinity Software, I may start with the raw images and then repost - thanks again.
