This was taken last summer.. the goslings ventured out from under the protective feathers while the parent kept a close eye on it. I decided to convert this one BW as the surrounding was a bit busy. Applied a tiny bit of Topaz simplify followed by selective sharpening. Hope you like it...
Very nice take on the theme, Indranil. Love the little gosling and the parent keeping a close eye. I wish the parent's head was in focus though. I might also tone down the white spot near the tail on the parent.
Masking back in the color on the gosling might also make for an interesting image. Just a thought.
Indranil, I think this is adorable! I love Christopher's idea to mask back in some color for the gosling. I would probably sharpen the face and eye a bit more. Perfect image for the theme.
I like your choice of perspective and the loverly juxtaposition. The depth of field (none!) works perfectly.
I like your composition, Indranil, especially how the fragility of the little guy is balanced by mom's vigilance.
Indranil, I think b&w works really well here and I like the effect Topaz had on the grass and leaves. Beautiful composition.
Thanks all for the kind words. Appreciate it a lot.
Christopher, thanks for the suggestion and here is a repost... instead of a layer mask I used Topaz remask2...
Indranil. It looks great!:)
I agree with Denise, Indranil. I think you have a winner!
Looks good, Indranil. Very well done! :)
