I posted a GBH reflection a while earlier and the reflection wasn't perfect.....but I thought I had one.....went back to my Jan. files and found this one......probably as close as I can to get reflection perfection. I did have a bit more room also and only cropped from the bottom....so it wasn't a mirror image.
Canon 1D Mark lll with the Sigma 300-800mm lens at 406mm at f6.3 and 1/4000 sec and ISO 800 manually focused.
3 spots patched out of water in PP'ing. Also took previous advice and only sharpened breast feathers very slightly.
Roman, Beautiful mirrored reflection, great details, pose and plumage. It does look a bit tight to me too-but I know it isn't for you. A few dust bunnies. Very nicely done.
Roman, you certainly have captured a perfect reflection - colours all there. Good job with the sharpening on the breast feathers, bit I feel a bit of selective sharpening on the head and wings will work too. I feel you could add a bit to the top and bottom too.
Hey Roman!
Good to see you around here!
Lovely image of one of my favorite herons. Beautiful job on making this image. I agree with Axel about this been too tight.
Hi All and thanks.....for those who want more room.....I do have it on bottom.....but none on left.....as there was a great egret just out of frame and many more birds on the right! Fortunately......adding canvas on this one is an easy fix!
