Bleached Reddish Egret

[Fabs Forns]

Captured at Fort DeSoto's East beach, after sunset. Noise removed with Noiseware Pro, then Nik's Bleach Bypass.
Hope you like it.

I've found the bleach bypass very difficult to tame, but you've managed it beautifully, Fabs. Like the pose, and the composition:)

Fabs, what lovely colors! I love your Nik processing. I've been squinting through a macro lens and now can't see too well, but wonder if his face/eye is sharp. If it is, then disregard! :D

[Fabs Forns]

Barbara, this was taken after sundown, with water as midtone as the bird, so it is impossible to get critical sharpness without a flash, especially hand held. So I enjoyed them for what they are.

Thanks guys!

[Barbara Kile]

And, we do enjoy them too. You made good out of less than ideal conditions and sans tripod. :)

Love the colors, with the water echoing those of the bird. Lovely! Nice tranquil feel.

What a lovely, peaceful image, Fabs. :) Love the soft colors, and perfect placement for the bird.

Fabs, I like the effect of the bleach bypass. The water colors are dreamy. Very nice.

I like the colors in this one, bird and water have almost same color...well done

[Dave Woeller]

Besides the incredible colors in this shot, I really love that the lines of the water are broken up by the ring of ripple formed around the Egrets feet

[Lance Peters]

Over the top feel Fabs!! - Love the soft colours.

Love the colours in the water and the dreamy feel to this :)
