Roseate juvenile before sunrise

Since I have not taken any pics lately, I have to dig in the older files to find something to share. Here's a true oldie, just switched to Nikon, with good old D200.
Little Estero Lagoon, Florida, before any light. I liked the white balance temperature. What do you think?

A fantasy vertion can be seen here:

beautifully and artistically processed, sharp but delicate.
keep diggin' out those oldies

some creative attitude with that look Fabs, cool PP, very nice.

Colours are lovely Fabs. The flash just pulls it out of that lovely blue BG. I might reduce the catchlight a little as the reflection off the water is making it quite long (vertically) across the eye.

It's like the bird is getting unpainted by the water, the relfexion gives me the feeling of the pink color falling, this is VERY nice Fabs!! Congratulaitons!

If I were you i would definitely keep digging, beautifully done.
