Least Tern

I added the find edges filter and masked back in some areas. I liked the softness to the wings in the original and thought it would look good as a high key image.

Woo hoo!!! As you know, I am usually not the biggest fan of softness in an image:D......it rocks here in the high key presntation and the depth of some of the layers......especially the sand.....fantastic!

Another lovely image..love the sharpness in the face, feet, sand...there's no eggs in there right ;)...nicely done

Like the softness of the wings and the high key look too Denise. Can you remember which lens you used. The perspective on the bird looks a little odd to me????

Thanks folks I appreciate the comments.
Jackie I was using my 500mm lens and I was down low on the ground and it was taking off towards me.

Very lovely image, Denise. Nice flight pose and high-key look. Well done. :)

Love the high-key here, the muted sand, and the soft wings.
Really cool!
