Nice catch, Russ. Did you increase saturation of the bird? There’s a curious dark blue halo around it, most noticeably around the beak.

Hi, Jeremy,

I’ve looked closely and I simply don’t see the dark blue halo. I’d like very much to know if others see it.

This picture is an extreme crop from a wider scene. I shot it with my D850 and 24-120 lens at 120mm and ran it through DxO’s PureRaw in post-processing.

That’s curious, Russ. It leapt out at me. Let’s see what others say.

I see blue banding in the neck as well as the beak.

Regards,

The blue band around the beak is very obvious to me.

Thanks all for taking the time to look and report.

I’ve checked the picture both as it resides on my computer and as it resides on PXL. Ive checked the PXL image both with my two thoroughly calibrated computer monitors and with my tablet. I do see a blue reflection of the sky on the top of the bird’s quite smooth beak when I look at the PXL version with my tablet.. I don’t see any sign of blue banding on the neck or body, though I do see a very faint white sharpening line along the top of the neck.

At this point I don’t know whether or not to worry about it.
