Hi Gary, You have done well to capture this bird sharp when it was flying. I would try to tone down the background to extract some color from it and maybe clone out the shadow as only half of the shadow is only visible. Did you crop from the bottom ? Do you use Lightroom / photoshop ?
Added a curves mask and towned down. Also used content aware to get rid of the shadow.
Denoised the background. Need to spend some tine on the water to make it look better where I used content aware.
Will do later.
Gary
Yes, I alway over look the darkening of the bird. Using the black's. Really makes the bird pop out.
Tip on cloning is appreciated and will try it now.
All the best,
Gary
Good idea Hiran. Never thought of that either.
Thnks for the tip.
BTW, am heading to the India embassy here in a few days and try to get a visa.
Just, future planning. I hope to visit your country next winter? Not absolutely sure now how it will work out.
Gary
