Monchromatic Stork

[Michael Pancier]

I liked the perch and comp. on this backlit stork; I thought it looked even better in B&W...

I used silverfx pro and viveza 2 in the processing ....

Hi Michael, Interesting lighting and the conversion looks good. I might clone the one orb and tone down a bit of the bright spots. I wonder if the eye could be lightened a bit. Anyway very nice looking feather detail:)

Michael, nicely framed betwen the two branches, and I would maybe darken the BG a tad.

I also think the eye is just a bit dark - Viveza should take care of that in nothing flat. I would also tone down the hot spots just a little bit - I like that they are bright just not quite that bright.

I like the B&W approach. I am with Denise on losing the big specular highlight. I wish that the stork were not angled away.
