Hi Yves I like what you are doing here For this type images there are no rules but some things seem to work better than others
This would have worked great with a goose in the center of the image and as in any other having some kind of balance in the mix I like the wing action and bg Would go after more of these type You will come up with a winner !!!! Would also go a littler lighter on this one !!!
I Like it a lot. I agree about going a bit lighter though. What shutter did you use? Looks 1/30th or even less.................
Love the effect here but agree with Alfred that a better arrangement of birds would have helped.
There is definitely an element of luck with this kind of shot.
I would suggest boosting the contrast quite a bit (seems to work well with most blurs in my limited experience), increasing the saturation, running some noise reduction, and lightening it up a bit. You may or may not like the results (in general, blurs seem to be extremely subjective), but here's my very quick and dirty crack at it :
Hi Yves,
Nice blur, don't forget to add your techs next time.
I like what Mike did lightening the image, I would also go in Hue/Saturation and decrease the blues.
Thanks to all for your positive comments! I also tried to increase contrast : I somewhat like the result but I prefer the soft pastel like texture that is present in the picture.
The exifs are (sorry not to have put them!) : 1/6s f/5.6 iso400 with a manual focus lens (600 mm).
I look at this image, figured out what I would recommend and then read the posts and they covered it all.
