Taken about a month ago on my favorite trail here in Gainesville. Down on my belly was getting some shots of this glossy wading in the shallow water ... then I see this guy give me this pose and a split second later there is a second glossy coming in from above. I'm too close to capture all the action (lots of jumping and flaring), but I got the pre-action. I like the pose, just wish the light hadn't been so harsh.
In post, I removed quite a bit in both the fg and background. After I was done, the image still looked a bit bright (something that I'm slowly working on correcting) so I took Stuarts advice and applied a duplicate layer in Multiply mode. Lowered the opacity to taste. And this is the result!
Shooting Specs:
Nikon D800 | 500 f/4 +1.4
1/2000" | f/6.3 | ISO 2500
