This great egret has just missed catching a fish; the next strike was successful. I wonder if the whites, which I don't think are blown out, are ok? I cropped the image very minimally. Should I have included the reflection?
Wendell, I opened your image in PS and looked at the histogram, and I think the whites are blown a bit, though not terribly. Don't know if you might be able to recover them in the raw file. Great pose and I like the reflection. I might consider cropping in closer on the bird.
Hi Wendell - JUST MHO - but blown whites are Rarely O.K - In your main subject - different matter if it is a high key background or something - would go back to the Raw and see what you can recover, probably should have been at closer to -0.7EV.
Would desat the blues just tad, would also crop tighter on the bird.
Hi Wendell,
You have good action here, but agree with Mr. Peters on the blown whites, go back and re-work the RAW file again and see what you come up with...looking forward to seeing the repost...:cool:
