Morning Reflections

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

Ft DeSoto morning light.
Canon 1DMIII 300 mm 2.8 L lens w/2x
ISO 400 f8@1/1000
Added a slight blue photo filter to bg since the water was a little flat and grey
C&C always thanks

Cheryl, lovely soft light, and I like the water's reflection cast on the body. Overall, nice and sharp too. Comp wise, I would maybe take a bit off the left and top.

Hi cheryl, Sweet light and I nice pose now all it needs is a bit of contrast from a small S curve to give it just a touch of pop.

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

Hope I did the s curve right. Thanks for the suggestions

Cheryl,
I really like the comp on this one. I agree that adding tweeking S &H a bit or adding a point or 2 of blacks would give it a pop. Beautiful light and a great bird. Well done,
Gail

Great light and nice ose. I would also like to see it brighter, and a bit off the bottom...Nice one Cheryl

Nice shot. I slightly prefer the composition in the OP. Here is a repost with some cooling filter and colour balance applied. WDYT?

Wow Ofer, that really made a huge difference. Thanks so much for showing me how much better my images can look. I think I am going in between your color and mine with less off the left side than the original but not as much as myrepost.I'm working on it all the time so please don't ever hesitate to continue the C&C I do appreciate it alot.:bg3:

I'd go with the Pane 4 image with a crop from the bottom to get back to 3X2. I'd lose the two black specks, one long, one round, just behind the bird and above the line of disturbed water under the bird.
