Blacksmith plover photographed in ephemeral lake
Ntwetwe Pan Botswana
Image made in late afternoon light through tall grasses.
2 applications of dry brush filter, layer mask with posterization and color adjustments. The partial posterization brought out the OOF grasses and the noisey spots that resemble a terribly dirty sensor (which I don't mind). It has a paint wash effect to it when printed on watercolor papers.
All comments and suggestions welcome.
Hi John,
I love everything about this image - the colours and reflection are to die for and you did a great job with the watercolour effects. I bet it looks sensational printed on watercolour paper...
Well done!
Regards,
Nicki
John, I like it alot also-well done w/ the colors .It will be a beautiful large print!! So let's see ,you shoot killer Eagle shot in flight ,and now this-you are very talented!!!
Particularly like the feel and agree must be impressive looking printed on watercolor paper !!!
Excellent John,
The mood and feel on this one is over the roof...congrats...:cool:
It's the grasses that put this over the edge for me...they add such a depth and feel to the piece. Great stuff, John! Part of me wishes I could see a hint of an eye but I have a feeling if it were there I wouldn't like it so nevermind!
I'm back! Been offline most of the week, but a new router did the trick.
Thanks everyone for your comments and encouragement! I'm grateful for the input from so many talented and skilled folks on these forums.
Wow, very effective treatment, the colors are to die for and I also like the texture and the composition. Congratulations!
