Taken at Gatorland, again thank you to Mike Godwin and Artie.
This is pretty cool Denise! I love the open bill, and spiked hairdo. Although the whitest whites are close to the histogram's right edge, I can't help but feel the grayer tones of the plumage could be pushed lighter. I wouldn't mind seeing a bit less body at right, but overall very well done! That place looks like a bird photographer's paradise!
Jeez, I did not scroll down before making an even lighter version.... Love the HA and the BKGR. Used Tim Gray Dodge and Burn after first pulling the curve up. Dan, it is good to see great minds thinking alike :) ;)
