Another silhouette image from me. 40D; 300 f/4 non-IS. 1/1250. f/4. ISO 400. pushed exposure some in DPP. color temp adjustment in DPP. some minor spots removed using clone stamp. NR using neatimage.
I should have overexposed in camera itself...but I was setting myself up for the "catching fish" shot. I did get it actually.
Does this crop work? I am asking because the reflection is disturbed by the ripples. But I thought its still worth it.
There is a halo around the bird...but its not because of over-sharpening or over-contrast. tried pulling those sliders to the left. Can it be the light reflected off the bright white bird?
I did try some more NR but the ripples were losing their sharpness.
I like the overall effect. Yes the ripples distort the reflection, but I like their overall contribution. I might even try to include a bit more to the left to show more complete circles if you have them.
Open beak a plus, color temp pleasant.
If you have more to the left, could convert to more of a pano crop, with most of the reflection cropped off and extending the crop on the left to include more of the ripples.
