Heron on the Bay

[Richard Waas]

I photographed this image at Ding Darling on Sanibel Island, Florida handheld with my Canon 50D. ISO 200, f/5.6, 1/250 sec, EF 300, f/2.8 IS USM + 2.0 extender, 600mm (960mm with 1.6 crop), Evaluative Metering, Auto Exposure, Auto WB, No Flash. I was playing with my Color Efex and tried a Polaroid Transfer. What do you think?

Richard, I love the polaroid transfer and I'm glad you took the texture out-This looks like it's glowing!! Very unique !!

Mr. Waas,
Nicely done, I like the smooth silky transfer...well done...:cool:

Richard I like what it did to the bird except in the white underbelly area...there it looks like you cut and pasted the bird onto the image BG. You might try to clean up the "glow" that's off the feathered area and see if that makes it look a little more realistic.

Neat idea here...good for you for trying something different!

Thanks Julie, I toned down the glow of the white under feathers and it does look better. I just love BPN
