Picture of a Black Swan
  • LivioAndronico Yes I agree with the DOF at the back is not the same as front but it does not seem to affect the overall composition and look of the picture especially in the presence of the sharp frontal area. I did select a lower DOF to blur the background a bit when shooting animals at the zoo. Thanks for your input. --Sanjay Acharya (talk) 14:52, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
LivioAndronico had been blocked and maybe can't answer you --The Photographer 15:08, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Blocked by whom? Thanks for letting me know. --Sanjay Acharya (talk) 17:04, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@The Photographer: Uploaded a second version with added slight warming effect and removed distracting grass --Sanjay Acharya (talk) 20:17, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The top right problem is gone, however, there is something with this image that does not convince me totally, for example, maybe a excessive clarity filter (white are too whites), jpg artifacts and posterization in background. --The Photographer 20:06, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No clarity filter has been applied by me other than slight sharpening. In my opinion its just the characteristic of the bird's fur/feathers. Check out this another picture that shows similar whites are too whites. Also the artifacts probably are due to higher ISO of 500.
