EOS R EF 400 DO I 1.4xtcII f5.6 1/640 ISO 6400
On an overcast, drizzly morning this beauty begged to be imaged as he/she works on the mating plumage and blue lores soon to be complete for nesting season. Slight boost to vibrance and contrast and ran NI. I know, not ideal perch or light, but this attitude and stance called to me. As always, comments and suggestions welcome.
Nice pose on the bird and i like the setting. Looks a touch blue to me.
Thanks for the learnings, John. It does have a blue cast as it was a fairly miserable day (overcast and drisly). Thus the 6400 ISO to get it sharp.
Where? While I like the blue lores and the vertical pano crop the image needs more room at the top. LMK if you need help doing that?
with love, artie
Thanks for the help Artie, I do have a little more at top but with one bright spot to deal with. This was created at Wakodahatchee. I am currently studying PS processing from PS tutorials and your and Arash's excellent guide. It will be a while and many attempts/practice before I am even serviceable though. Lots of fun learning though. The DPP guide is also a great help.
I like the HA and the BG, wish the neck had not intersected with the leaves, easy to clone those leaves out. image has a magenta cast and the detail look a bit coarse on my screen

You are welcome. And thank you. Eliminating a light spot in a sold background is child's play with the Patch Tool. Adding canvas, image clean-up, and tons more are detailed in the BAA Current Workflow e-Guide (aka Digital Basics II) I would advise getting a copy and mastering the basics before going on to our post-processing guide.Quote:

Hi David, I like the pose with the twisted neck, and your comp works well with the pose. Yes to more room on top, and I agree there is a magenta cast to the Heron.
