Golden Snowy

[Don Lacy]

I was going through some old files the other day when I came across this Snowy Egret image taken at Estero with the golden reflection of the condos in the water

40D, 500 f/4, 1/4000s at f/7.1, Manual Mode, Evaluative Metered, ISO 400

Great image Don and I really like the light. Great detail in the whites.

[Marina Scarr]

Lovely, classic portrait of a snowy, Don.

[Karl Egressy]

Nice pose and nice background, Don.

Hi Don, this fellow looks very similar to our little egret. Nicely separated from the water BG, and I feel this needs a touch of CW rotation.

Hey Don .I like the reflective light bands on the bird and the interesting bg. I would like to see some off the top and more on the bottom if that is at all possible. If not maybe some off the top.

Don,
What was your WB setting?
Thanks

[Iain Barker]

Lovely image Don. The exposure looks spot on and the background adds more interest.
I also wondered if it needed slight rotation?

[Don Lacy]

Don,
What was your WB setting?
Thanks

temp 5000
tint +10
Adjusted in ACR original temp was 4700

IMO adding a little warmth and contract makes this image pop.
What say you?

[Don Lacy]

It does pop more I probably should not process at 2am
