Black-bellied Plover Shake

[denise ippolito]

I converted to B&W then find edges then layer mode

I like the composition and technique(surprise). What I don't like is the areas of white with no detail around the breast area. I'd go ahead and burn the detail in(hopefully there is some)before the B&W, edges etc. regards~Bill

Bill, I hadn't noticed that -Thanks. I just checked the file and it has plenty of detail so I'll mask back in some detail there. I may as well do all the whites while I'm at it!! Good idea to darken that area down a bit before the effect. Will put that in my workflow from now on.Thanks for the help.Much appreciated.

Love the pose, colors and BG. Really cute little guy.

[Christopher Miller]

Like the pose and low angle. Nice effect and colors.

Very nice Denise. The drops being sprayed off add to it and certainly nice effect and unusual technique. I like that.

All the best and that low angle is a winner for shots like this.
