Love in High Key
Captured during our workshop this morning at Wako, nice to see familiar faces like Harold D, our own Gus Cobos, Mirenchu F, Michael Wolf and many others. Jackie S is here from Toronto and we are having a blast!
Against the light, cloudy, trying for something different. Cropped from horizontal. Home-made frame :)

This is totally sweet Fabs great positioning on the Herons this is gorgeous.
Brilliant, the comp is great but the frame idea on a high-key image is very interesting.
Fabs: the image is a masterpiece, one of your best IMO. The frame idea has a problem. I wouldn't remove it, but in addition place a 1 pixel black border around the whole image. The problem with high key images is that without such a border the image tends to merge with a light web page background color. Not a tremendous problem here, but especially with white backgrounds. regards~Bill

What a stunning shot! The neck angles and "beak to beak" make for a magnificent pose. I love the high key.

Agree with all above, the eye contact and color contrast are superb, well done Fabs

beautiful poses,eye contact,composition...moment!
Fabs, this is pin sharp, and love the interaction captured. Good DOF too. Well done.
Oh, Fabs -- this is a knockout image!
It is an instant all-time favorite for me !
I'll remember this one for a very long time. :)
Beautiful....frame works...
One fine image Fabs. Love the high key look and the frame.
Interaction, sharpness, exposure control and details look very good. What I find a bit distracting is that the pieces of the neck outside the frame are not direct extensions.
Fabs, I really like the eye contact and interaction. I think you were very successful in creating a unique image of these birds. The high-key BG and the way you chose to frame it is perfect. I love it!
I do see what Axel is referring to but it only looks like that one little piece. Sounds like you guys are having a blast!:)
It's a beauty, Fabs!
It is very nice, Fabs. Love the high key as well and the interaction is great. I like the frame, apart from the fact that there seems to be a shift to the left with the parts under the frame. Well done.
I absolutely love this one Fabs. I think it might look good as a more vertical--either way Sweet!!

Wonderful interaction that looks great in high key! The eye contact with both birds is terrific. I never would have thought to use a frame that's smaller than the image, but it works well for me.
Upcoming Workshops: Bosque del Apache 2019, Ecuador 2020 (details coming soon)

I just don't know how you catch these moments, Fabs, but you seem to have an uncanny knack for it.
The rule works nicely but seems a tad heavy to my eye. I would make it more like a hairline rule .. and maybe even pick up one of the colors from the image.
Beautiful work! :cool:
Nice touch, David ! :)
Fabulous, Fabs! I really enjoy this image. Great interaction--marvelous dof. I like the frame--and I agree with David's approach--maybe just a tad darker on his line.
Everything in this image are really great! Fascinating!!
I just can't understand how you get long DOF when using 600mm with only f6.3??
It's amazing to me.
I realy love the high key here and the Interaction. beautiful work.
Regarding the frame, I think David's suggestion looks better, bit I would prefer it with no frame.
The wonders of FF sensors...I just can't understand how you get long DOF when using 600mm with only f6.3??
It's amazing to me.
An exquisite image Fabs. I love the interaction and like your original frame, albeit a little thinner would work better IMHO. Such a kick- a s s image. :)
Thank you all for your comments.
David, beautiful repost, gracias :)
Fabs....superb comp...and I really mean it. The high key treatment works very well too.
