Theme - Monochomatic - Before the Light

[Mark Fuge]

The attached was taken in early misty light at Merritt Island NWR. I modified the image by adjusting contrast and brightness, as well as adding the directional spot lighting effect.

Enjoy!

Mark, Is this a large crop? I ask because I'm seeing alot of JPEG compression (pixelization-sp?) on my monitor. I like the color tones and the gradient BG. The lighting looks nice also.

Nice use of colored backround. The bird is centered and since it is moving to the left I would have placed it more to the right. I would crop out about half the sky....

Repost does look better Mark. I also like the punched up color tones.

I love the great color tones of the repost. Beautifully done.

I also think the repost is an improvement with the increased sat and the different placement of the bird. I can now see the bird is going away instead of coming towards you. With the crop on the bottom the top appears more appealing to my eye...

Thanks all for the second viewing and comments. Appreciate it.
