Here is one more shore bird image. Some recent comments to my photos was removing the 2nd catchlight, so I did it here, however, I did not use flash and it was all natural. Do you guys think it is better and if yes why?
Thanks for commenting.
Beautiful low angle shot, Lorant.
Ducks also have two catch lights, one from reflection.
It is natural but most people believe it is from using fill flash (and I don't).
So I just remove it.
It's just a matter of personal preference. I usually leave it in b/c it's natural from the reflection of the water but many choose to remove one. Like the feel of the water here and a lovely BG to show off this little shorebird.
Great POV; lovely water fore and back. Although it's natural, removing a second (reflected) catchlight can sometimes make the eye, and thus the whole bird, seem sharper. At least to my eye.
Hi Lorant, another low angle capture which works very well. Good exposure and feather detail. Im one for removing the second catchlight, not normally from fill flash, but from the reflection of the water. It is all a personal thing, and I feel it just neatens the eye.
Least Sandpiper - one or two catchlights?
