Last Light Snowy

[Philip Pietri]

Shot in 20mph wind whilst 46 degrees out and knee-deep in water. Ouch.

I really liked how the foreground and background added to this image of a snowy egret. I ran some NR on the background water and applied some shadows / highlights on the bird.

Light, head angle, details and BG are great. I might lighten the dark OOF area in the foreground at the bottom.
