    Default Black Necked Stilt

    I made this image in Sand Hollow State Park last week.
    This was taken on a two-day camping trip.
    I will do this more this year especially since I Purchased all my Camping gear to avoid staying hotels and still go for trips.
    I wish for the cleaner foreground. I was in mud handholding 500 PF
    So the next day I was in the mud at the same place a little left to get cleaner foreground and birds did not come close.

    Camera Settings:-
    ===============
    Nikon D850 500 PF
    1/4000 sec; f/5.6; ISO 800
    Manual; Matrix metering


    Post Processing:-
    ===============
    Raw Processing using C1P 20
    Slight Crop
    Nik 25-25 Filter on Bird at reduced opacity
    Tonal Adjustments in Viveza
    Neat Image NR
    Sharpening for Presentation
    Dodge selectively
    Clone a few spots in the water.


    Let me know your thoughts and comments.

    Krishna, very nice with your usual light and airy feel. The bird looks beautiful and love the touch of water at the tip of the beak. Nice work getting the desirable stride.

    Based on the water line where the legs enter the water it almost appears it needs a bit of CCW rotation. I do see, though how the darker mud line in the bkg can give the illusion it's the opposite.

    Agree with cleaning up the water a bit. Colors and comp (including the sweet colors above the bird) are super!

    Nice all around. The raised foot is a plus. The framing is right on. I don't mind the water.
