In the source pic the subject has been flashed-flat. As a result, colors of both the owl and branch are slightly washed out. Ofcourse if in this difficult situation the intelligent (and expensive !) iTTL-flash system had been used, a slightly better lighting and imaging of the subject would have been accomplished.
In this workshop therefore, I simulated by means of Post-Processing, exactly how the owl would have looked if the more advanced iTTL-flash system had been used.
Technique:
Quality-check; background denoised -selected, despeckled and brightness lowered (-10) to compensate for the noisy operation of the ISO-400 setting of this particular digital camera in complete darkness; foreground (subject) selected and processed for brightness/contrast-levels with slight color-correction; slightly more sharpened (USM); red-eye reduction -left eye only, to correct for (red-)eye symmetry (selected, R-channel attenuated).
(for best comparison, please compare side-by-side)
I hope this may be helpful.
Greetings, Dimitri.

Shadows/Highlight | | Mousehill
(754) [2005-11-22 17:09:58] [6] | Hello Alejandro,
The main problem with the photo was overexposure and not noise. I removed some of the highlights in the image to bring out the veins in the leaves again. Saturation was a bit too high also for my liking so i decreased saturation by -4. To finish it off I removed the noise and added some sharpening. Ad you can see the texture on the leaves is much better visible now. Best regards, Mike |

I just wanted to know, how it looks without the red. IMO the eyecatcher is more on the butterfly. Of course, the quality now is bad, but I wanted to show it in another way, bye
