This trumpeter was imaged last weekend. I was primarily working the fall colors, but this fellow was so strikingly lit against the dark water and background, it caught my eye.
D4 500 AFS f/6.3 1/2000s ISO 640 Hand held
Post: Minor crop for comp, selective sharpening, minor water clean up. Detail extractor to help tame a few hot spots in the whties.
Advice and comments appreciated. I tried several different crops, but kept coming back to this. I thought the dark rocks in the BG added some depth to the image without being distracting.
Cheers
