This is a different (from the next day) and less colorful bird than the one I posted recently. But I like the looks of its feathers, caused by that strong light coming in from the left. I made all adjustments in LR, and though I moved various sliders, the final image looks very much like the one I began with. It is a White-faced Ibis, by the way. What do you think? Should I have included the reflection, etc.?
Lovely image, Wendall. The first thing I noticed was the beautiful light and the pattern on the bird's wings and legs. Not sure if you had the opportunity or not but a lower camera angle would have really been nice here as I feel you are looking down on him with the camera. I would definitely leave the reflection as it goes so nicely with the circles in the water. Also, it feels a little tight at the top of the frame - if you have more water I might add another 1/2" to the top. Nice feather detail and beautiful light!
Another Ibis
