Hi Bill Looks good, got the Willet with a meal and great head angle.
Remember to get in sun angle to eliminate shadows and having the bird lit up. Exposure looks good and don't think you could have given more light but the back of neck and front of head are a little dark. Can lighten slightly.
With LR you can use the masking tool and mast those areas then lighten a bit !! Quick and easy !!!
Hi Alfred, Thanks! Nice to be back! Always enjoy shooting with Roman and Ben. Roman is relentless and resourceful which makes for many opportunities. We had a great trip with only 1 1/2 days of bad weather. It even started warming up after the first 3 days we were there.
super dave!!! welcome back....glad you survived!! sorry bill, thread hijack is over.:)
agree with al and dave. first thing i thought when i opened it was something didnt feel right compositionally and the crop off the top takes care of that!
Hi Bill! Really like the texture in the water with the reflection as well. Nice detail in the bird! I agree with cropping just a bit off the top and lightening head as Al suggested
Here's a repost with the neck area lightened a bit in PS. I used the dodge tool first, then masked the dark area and applied curves to raise contrast just a bit. Also recropped slightly.
Dinner
