            Nicely done Andy, but I noticed something on this that I spotted when I took the a picture of a parrot with red feathers. It appears that the detail gets lost as the reds seem to be over exposed even though the over all image seems properly exposed. Is that a common problem when shooting in bright sunlight? If yes, how do you compensate for just the reds being overexposed?

              Tom, I'm not sure I agree that the reds are overexposed. There were two birds - one was 1 to 3, which look fine on my monitor, and then the 2nd was #4, which I admit is very scarlet but it really was this vivid.

              I've taken a copy of #4 and decreased the red saturation in LR5 and whilst it does give back some detail it looks dreadful and nothing like the original.

              I don't know Tom, I like the red in your parrot on my screen and I like the red in my #4 here (which is about as red as it can get), so I can only think its maybe a calibration thing on your screen - have you calibrated it recently? I use x-rite's i1display quite regularly now, but before that I had no idea how over-cooked some of my shots were.

              I really appreciate the comment, though - if the red is over exposed and I can't see it then I do want to know. Maybe in this regard others can comment on both your parrot and #4 above?

                Thanks for the feed back Andy. Much appreciated. Will check the calibration again.
