Photo taken at Merritt Is. in late February. Late afternoon in strong low angle sun. This was my first experience with spoonies. What an afternoon! I like the effect of the refractions caused by the ripples on the water.
Hi Richard, Welcome to ETL and BPN! Attractive image for your first post. Good light,head angle,exposure and a sharp enough reflection to hold my interest.(the image would work with or without it)
A good point to remember is to give more room in the image in the direction your subject is facing.
Might take a bit off the back and bottom. Otherwise well handled!
Hi Richard - big warm welcome to BPN - dont hesitate to jump right in and leave comments on other peoples images - no better or faster way to improve your own photography - all we ask is that you say what it is you like or dont like about the image.
A little more space on the LHS for my personal tastes - could always fix the reflection if you so desired.
Nice first post.
Sweet first post Great comments !!! Just to go in a different way would suggest horizontal with very little reflection. ... Just like to see the bird larger in frame and enjoy ! Variations are just personal taste ... fine image. Looking forward to the next one
Another Spoonbill; but my first
