Shot on a Canon PowerShot SD1100. Resized and exported in Luminar 4.

Quite a nice view!

Most likely your image was overexposed when it was taken and that area is unrecoverable with no detail. If you shoot manual mode, the use spot metering and meter so the white bird is +1 overexposed.

you probably used matrix metering or similar, and the camera tried to balance the white bird with the dark background and averaged them together. However you are smarter than your camera and know that you want the bird to be properly exposed so if you choose your own settings, then you can preserve the highlights. ?

Apologies if you know this already. But editing won’t fix the bird in this particular image.

I took this using the iPhone 7 but without too much thought other than a focus on the chicks. I guess I will face the same challenge with the iPhone 12P? At this moment I am several steps behind the smartness of its camera

Edit: Maybe my prompt to move to ProRAW?

Behind the woods, there’s a lake where the sun is setting directly.

Ohh. I’m so sorry! I did not realize. I would definitely try shooting in raw. It doesn’t have to be proraw. But there are a lot of apps that let you shoot raw.

So yesterday used an assortment of tricks to get what I wanted. Today as it came from the canmera, other than a resize. Which makes it an Original (un)Touch Foam

OK, I'm gonna say something. People, you know it IS possible to shoot something indoors, to find interesting subjects right inside your own homes? Sure, landscapes and birds and other stuff outdoors are there for the looking, but so are things indoors, too. It always surprises me when people say that they can't shoot these days or haven't shot recently because they're more-or-less confined indoors or within their own home and neighborhood due to quarantining/lockdown during this pandemic. Look around your own home, look at the big things and the small things and see if you can't find an interesting way to shoot these! If you've got birds which come to your backyard, you can shoot them through a window. If you have interesting art objects that you've collected through the years, set them up on a table and shoot away..... Some participants on this thread have demonstrated how this can be done, so why not try it for yourselves?

I do both at the same time. I open the window of my sunroom and shoot from inside quite often.
