Little Blue with a shrimp dinner

[Bob Blanchard]

Here's another from Saturday morning at Ding. I don't think it's anywhere near the level of the Tricolor or Spoonbill I posted the past couple days, but I like it anyway. Was a really great day out there!

Canon 1DsMII, 600mm f/4L, f/4, 1/500, ISO 200, +4/3 EV, Off tripod at ground level.

Hey Bob,

Lovely low angle and soft light. Extremely sharp but the line across the horizon has to go!!! :)

Take care!

I like that idea. Will repost one without it.

Here's the repost without the line:

the repost without the line is even better than the first shot.
I love this image. wonderful composition and reflection. the prey in the bill is great.

I would try to darken the water a bit and slightly increase saturation. Not sure if this makes a difference but it would be nice trying it.

Now we are talking. Huge difference don't you think?? I'm glad you took my advice!! :)

Keep up the good work Bob!

The repost makes it even better. I might increase the saturation a few points.

Here it is with a little more saturation:

Beautifully captured Bob. With a wonderful low angle and composition. Perfect head turn and eye contact and the third post is great.

Thanks for posting it again with more saturation. I like that version best.
