    I made this image in Bear River Migratory Refuge couple of weeks back at Sunset.
    I wish, I did not have specular highlights on the beak




    Camera Settings:-
    ===============
    Nikon D500, 600 f/4
    1/5000 sec; f/5.6; ISO 2000
    Manual; Matrix metering
    Focusing using Live View






    Post Processing:-
    ===============
    Raw Processing using C1P
    Slight Crop from the top
    Tonal Adjustments in Viveza
    Neat Image NR
    Sharpening for Presentation
    A little bit of Rotation
    Cloning spots and twigs from the water.






    Let me know your thoughts and comments.


    Thanks

    Nice image, nice angle and light.
    Do you not like to alter your images because the highlights are easy to take off, about a minute
    if you are so inclined.

    This you for the comment/repost. I know I can remove the highlights.

    I generally do not make any changes on the bird. I do Cleaning up Environment a little (which I made in this image), but I do not touch the bird/subject.

    Lovely image, with nice sunset colours. I do prefer Dan's beak edit. but I get how you may prefer not to do that. TFS

    Good job by Dan. He even cleaned up the specular highlight reflections!

    Good job on including the bird's whole reflection.

    excellent light. I like the pose and action. Dan's cloning is helpful.
