White on white

Trumpeter on a snowy day in December. 12/09/2007 Skagit Valley, Washington


Canon XTi 400 f5.6 1/3200 f5.6 ISO 800 ex comp +1 AI Servo AF (I added one pixel of catchlight in the eye)

I love this shot, Terry. Good title. Very apropriate.

Like the concept Terry, and I like the translucency of the wings. The bird looks a little noisy on my monitor, and the catchlight is a little too prominent (the eye has that steel-eye flashed look). Also, I don't know that I would center the swan in the frame.

Nice pose and high key. The added catch light is a bit prominent and the image might benefit from a frame since it's hard to see the borders.

At this size, one pixel in the eye is HUGE. It probably looks fine at full size though.

I'm not sure if it is from the compression down to 47.5Kb or from some processing, but the underside seems a little noisy. Did you have to lighten it?

I really like the white on white look, very simple and elegant.

Nice looking bird and great high key!
