These photos of this goldcrest also show the impact of processing. Two have more heavy-handed processing. Two have more "naturalistic" processing, mostly exposure and saturation. None of these are strictly speaking more "correct" they just have different connotations #bird #birds #iceland #nature

A goldcrest perched inside a halo of leaves. This colour photo is a relatively naturalistic photo that just uses the tone curves provided by the camera manufacturer but with exposure adjustment and a bit of a saturation boost.
Same photo of a goldcrest perched inside a halo of leaves. This is a more heavily manipulated photo that has a bit more contrast and has local exposure and tone adjustment with a mask. The contrast makes it look a bit more cluttered.
A "naturalistic" black and white version of the same using the Fujifilm "ACROS" film simulation with minimal adjustment.
A more heavy-handed and "contrasty" black and white version with local adjustments.
