Yellow-Crowned Night Heron
OK, so I have lots of thoughts and questions about this one.
So many of the wonderful images Artie creates and we emulate have nice, clean, non-distracting, complementary backgrounds. This aint one of them.
Found nestled in the trees and shot through an opening in the leaves.
Does this worK? Too cluttered? Too obscured? Or does the natural setting fit? Is it even a keeper?
How about the vignetting? I added a bit to reduce the distracting elements, add the the spotlight kind of effect on the bird.
Other thoughts?
Thx.
