Duck in Black and White

[kevin Tressel]

Here is a duck photo I shot a Tyler State Park in Pennsylvania

Focal Length 500 (my New Sigma Lens)
f 6.3
1/125 shutter speed
ISO 250


I converted this to a black and white using the Nik Silver Efex Pro Aperture Plugin

Hi Kevin.
I like the capture, You need to run noise reduction in the background, and add a little contrast, and also tone down the hot spots in the water...:cool:

I agree. Tone down the hot spots in the water and bring up the mid and dark tones in the bird. Give it a contrast boost and I think it will be a really lovely image!
