This is another bird seen and photographed at the hotel we stay at in Liberia, Costa Rica, near the airport. There is a small pond (2 tennis court sized) that is loaded with wading birds, Whistling Ducks, herons, egrets, etc. Early in the morning it is simple to take 100’s of images before breakfast. Certainly this is not a rare bird, and can be seen in many countries, including the USA, but it is still a striking bird. After I processed it in PS (minimal processing-small increase in saturation, brightness of bird and small darkening of BG, I ran it through through Topaz De Noise AI. Question is: does it look over sharpened to you?
