After The Snow

[Nick Palmieri]

This is a local park in NJ where there are often some nice bird opportunities. I was driving around one morning after a snow storm and saw this scene. Tripod mounted 40D, with 70-200mm at 70mm. ISO 100,f/16, SS 1/125. Converted to B&W in Silver Efex, cropped a little snow from the FG and gray sky from the top.

Nick,

I like the overall scene but I think it might be a bit stronger with the foreground birds and snow cropped out due the empty space on the left front of the image.

Hi Nick, Nicely seen and captured.Agree with Dan that a single row of birds on the bottom with water beneath them mightmake for a stronger comp...

Nick,

I agree with the crop suggestion. I did a browser crop and found it stronger.
