This is a rework of an image that I made quite some time ago. I'm not sure what the technicals are (weren't embedded in the JPG), but I do remember using the Sigma 500 f/4.5 + Kenko 1.4xTC out at Ft. Desoto to make this image. I cropped a little from the left and top and added some canvas to the right (only because I reworked an existing JPG).
Let me know what you think! ;)
The first thing that impressed me about this image was the creamy quality of the background, there's a subtle foggy look to it that makes it very attractive. OF course, the subject don't suck ;)
Overall, an excellent job. I don't mind not seeing the feet, in this case covered by water, when they are covered by OOF sand, I'll take them too :)
i agree with fabs. the bg is phenomenal complimeting the bird great! what is out of the box about this? besides the fact that it is exceptional.
Compositions outside of the rule of thirds scare some people, Harold :D
The bird looking back into the pano works well here - you rule breaker you ;)
I concur with the previous comments about the nice background. Looks almost like a long exposure on the water but I doubt the bird would hold still for that long.
I like this a lot. I think it's very pleasing to look at and I wonder what the Godwit is seeing outside the frame and that's ok. The nice smooth bg I think makes the pano work really nice here. I think it's well done, Blake.
Blake i really like the loads. The space on the right is just awesome for me. Adds to the long bill of the bird. Strong comp colour and great BG. A Very Well Done from me
This works for me Blake. The artistic feel is enhanced of course by the "dead space" you added. Stunning composition.
that would make one heck of a business card!!!
