Hi from the CC Club,
What a gorgeous Heron, amazing capture.
As you wrote in your notes the head is not as sharp as it could be, but it is pretty close to it. I believe that this shot is just a tad bit too bright. The foreground and background are so bright that they are almost over powering the bird. Toning down the greens a little in Post processing would have made the bird pop off the page.
Dodging and burning would have been your friend in this shot. Saturation sponge/selective colours, curves could have brought out the intense colours of the bird.
I think you did an amazing job for sitting in a rubber boat, I could not capture this with a tripod on land.
Well done |
