Reddish Egret

[Kathy Reeves]

I blurred the BG and desaturated (not all the way) most of the image and over saturated the "red"--trying to do
low angle -3-D sort of look. Taken on the Texas Gulf Coast a few days ago. It was overcast, gray, and windy.
f8.0, 1/1300, ISO 540, FL 510mm (400mm x1.4)

I think its great Kathy! Love the action, lots and the color. Very cool image

Hi Kathy - love the action and the pose - fish with visible eyes is a big bonus. I might increase the blacks a little - look a little washed out and maybe a slight increase in contrast - looks a tad flat.
Nice work :)

Kathy, great action shot. Like the motion effect from the wind. As Lance I think contrast should have to be increased in the egret, though be aware that will also increase the noise under the right wing.
Anyway, amazing!

Hi Kathy,
I like the capture and the action here...agree with Mr. Peters on increasing the saturation and the contrast a wee bit...aside from this, you did well...:) looking forward to your next one...:cool:

Hi Kathy Love the action and If anything give it more room !!!

Not sure about the base exposure... wasn't listed. Might be under and image lighten in PS? I like how well the face looks and the sharp eyes !!! Action over the top carries this one Well done !!!!
