Angel light

[Marko Matesic]

20D+ 100-400@400 ....f/7.1, 1/1250 s,-1.00 eV, ISO 400, on bean bag...cropped for composition




P.S. Yellow spot on reflection is yellow wagtail so I did not clone it out because of memories :).....actually it was very funny.....where ever egret go -wagtail was always in the frame.....giving me hard time....so I let it be

I really like this image. The light here is really very nice. The spot doesn't bother me. The perspective is really nice to as well as the pose.

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Excellent point of view Marko. I absolutely love the image, especially because of the light conditions. The pose seems so tense as it is anticipating and about to strike (did it?). Congratulations!

[Arthur Morris]

Lovely light, pose, and image. The wings are perfectly positioned. It looks as if it could use a bit of CW rotation. Use the ruler tool on the horizon and then hit Image/Rotate/Arbitrary.

[Philip Lombard]

Simply fantastic, expossure, color, comp, first class.

[Harold Davis]

this has a great feel to it!! i love it.

[Daniel Cadieux]

The water's horizon is perfectly straight, but the ripples look tilted a tad. Could be tough to rotate without looking perfectly straight one way or the other? Excellent mood and drama depicted here. Super!

[Leroy Laverman]

Great light and exposure on the bird. Thought it needed a CW rotation as well. Must be the angle of the ripples.

[Gus Cobos]

Great image, like the colors, background and the wing position of your bird...:)
