    Thanks! The bird is an eastern phoebe, their call actually sounds like they’re saying “phoebe” a little bit. The hawk is a good catch!

    Thanks that’s a little reassuring. I did read up on some rules, mainly Natural History Museum’s rules, which was lengthy but didn’t seem to explicitly mention use of WB/HSL, so I think something to this extent is fine? Guess it’s just something I play around with as I get more involved with the wildlife shooting scene. It’s a pretty new area of photography I’ve never done before

    Looking to see what people’s thoughts are on HSL sliders/white balance. Just started getting into wildlife/birding. I’d like to keep my editing to competition standards, so keep it as true as I can with minimal editing, but how much HSL/WB is too much? Image I have linked is both raw out of camera and my edited version. No manipulation done outside of crop, HSL/WB exposure highlights shadows, the usual. But is that much warmth too much? It was taken 40ish minutes before sunset, so I tried to give it the dreamy sunset vibe, but maybe it’s overdone. I enjoy how the final edit turned out, but is it not “pure” enough for say photo competition standards? I’d like to stay on those standards as I keep getting into it and get pictures I’d like to submit at some point.
