Crop, saturation and gamma adjustments, downsize, sharpen.
Very bright late afternoon sun. (I know it looks like a flash).

Very bright late afternoon sun, chickens in light woods, very high up. Last or next to last shot of the shoot. Crop, but of boost to contrast and saturation, resize, some sharpening...
This is probably my last submission with my beloved first digital camera; the FZ10 seems to have died yesterday, so I am extremely gratified that it is being honoured with a [user]posthumous[/user] red ribbon. Cry for happy.

(Oops, I repeated myself - never seem to notice the text accompanying the submission).

Oh, and now I will really have to figure out how to get the posthumous red and the Chromey and the Oobie onto my profile.

Gave this a 3, thought I´d at least have the decency of telling you why. It´s simply way too dark, noisy and poorly lit for my taste, the image quality is, forgive me for saying this, horrible. Not sure what equipment you have but if you can shoot raw, try doing that and rather than underexposing like this, go up with the ISO, overexpose the shot and then in raw conversion, darken it again, it´ll lead to much better quality images, both regarding texture and noise.
