Congratulations Scott!
This shot was taken during the early morning light at about 9:45am. My camera settings were Canon 5D MKIII & 500mm F4 + 2xTCIII at 1/1000s F8 ISO1250. I was using a Manfrotto monopod with my left hand resting on the top of the lens for stability. It was set at about kneeling height, while I had my right knee on the ground and my left for stability. No flash used. I have sharpened with Nik and edited mostly in Lightroom. Cropped about 50% of the image to focus specifically on the Egret and the fish. I was shooting with the mindset of ETTR, and just had to decrease the highlights slightly in lightroom and bump the shadows for more even light across the face. I havent used any specific brushes or selective area editing.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated both with my technical set up and my editing. Thanks :)
