Alfred, is this what you referred to when you made this comment?
" if you get a perfect reflection and strong harsh light ... go after the reflection only and forget the bird !! Works"
C&C welcomed.
Green Heron photographed from the boardwalk at Wakodahatchee. The POV is not the best, (shooting down).
Fascinating image. In this case I think the high angle works very nicely. It's a dual-action reflection: partly reflecting the birds features,
partly revealing the details below the water. I would work on that second angle a little and enhance the effect. Whole image has room
for a little boost in levels or curves. S/H will open the shadow detail a bit more. Nice one!
Hi Milt - Davids repost works for me - Interesting Image - High angle works well here.
Unusual but like it a lot :)
Ill let AL answer what he meant by that statement ;)
Hi Milt,
I like the composition and capture, it's a little under exposed...I like the duality mirror reflection between the dark and the light, showing the different sides of the subject...David's repost illustrates this point very nicely...good show...looking forward to your next one...:cool:
Hi Milt I literary meat to shoot the reflection only !!!!! Will try to find one at home tonight and post.
Will turn the reflection upside down You need the sun high on the sky and strong plus no wind !!! As presented I would go for the entire bird and love the re post !!! Looks good contrast wise so there is no need to be drastic !!! I like the high angle and is one way to take advantage !!! Excellent !!
David, thanks for the re-post. I like what you have done and will try to learn from it. I have many opportunities in the wetlands to photograph reflections of herons, egrets and ibises and will try for some in the future.
Alfred, I will look for a situation where I can put your suggestion to good use.
Thanks to all for your kind and constructive comments.
i like the detail in the reflection, milt. david's repost is great and could even go a step further and clean up the white specks in the reflection of the bird.
