Same tom as I posted earlier, but this time displaying. Could not get around the OOF plant, not sure if cloning it out would help or not.

Something's wrong with the contrast in this - it looks very flat (somewhat like a HDR image). How did you process this?

I have reposted the smaller image with contrast adjusted. Not sure what happened. I did try sharpening after I had resized the images for posting, something I have not been doing.

The OOF plant is a bit of a distraction for me John. The repost almost looks too contrasty to me. I always sharpen after resizing, but I remove any sharpening applied to the larger version first. If you take a larger sharpened image and resize smaller while keeping sharpening in place and then sharpen again you tend to get very contrasty looking images as well as very poor overall sharpening IMO.

A nice look at this tom - the turkeys are going crazy here too - flocks of 20-30 coming through squawkinloudly at dawn, waking us all up.
