GBH Watercolor
I shot this in poor light as a silhouette, but when I got it home I didn't much like the result. So before trashing it I decided to experiment a bit. Added + 3.3 stops in RAW transfer, and applied a Watercolor filter in an attempt to make the troublesome noise into an artistic texture. Let me know what you think.
D90 | 80-400 @ 370mm | ISO 640 | 1/2500s @ f/7.1 | -0.7 EV as shot, added + 3.3 | HH
I think that's absolutely beautiful, Bill! Nice save!
That is a nice save, Bill! Might consider darkening the bright end of the perch but everything else is terrific. I'm going to copy this down to the OOTB forum so they can see it as well.
Hey Bill, I'm still seeing a hint of noise but you did a great job w/ the applied filter. I love the high key look and I agree w/ Julie regarding the end of the perch. Nice save!
PS-Don't be a stranger down here:) or should I say OUT here.
I like the look but with the rear of the bird more brightly lit than the rest and the bird facing away this one does not ring my chimes. I do like the simplicity though.

Bill, I love the high key look and the filter you applied. This has a very serene feel to me.
