I'm not sure this is far enough OOB for this forum but it definitely is not portrait enough for the Avian forum.
This image began this morning before the fog lifted at Peace Valley Park, Pa. When I arrived at sunrise, the Egret was already at work. I decide to make a few images through the fog. Once I got back, I started to play around with it using Topaz Adjust "Psychedelic" as a starting point and fine tuning from there. At that point the image appeared too blue for my tastes so I actually desaturated the color by about 50%. Topaz also left the image with more noise "texture" than I liked so I did a round of noise reduction with Neat Image. That seemed to restore the hint of fog. This was the result. Again, not certain the final result is OOB enough but here goes.
Canon 50D; 300mm f/2.8L IS lens w/ 2x TC; tripod-mounted.
1/60 sec @ f/9.0; ISO 400; 0 EV
