    Default GBH in golden light

    This one is from SWF IPT taken at Little Estero Lagoon... Although the HA may not be most ideal, I still liked the strolling pose here. Also, I do recognize lengthening shadow is covering lower part of the GHB. Does this work for you... all C&C will be appreciated. Settings were -

    7D, 70-200mm F4L + 1.4x @ 280mm hand held

    Beautiful water and placement of the bird within the different water colours.
    Thanks for sharing.

    Love the colors and the pose. I think you cropped it well. There are a couple of objects in the top right you might look at cloning out.

    Love the sharpness and the colors of those beautiful condo REFLs :)

    Actually, and I am being quite serious here, I feel that you should have moved 3 inches to your left (if possible) so that you would have better centered the bird in the lighter part of the salmon REFL. We did pretty well keeping the crowd under control and the shadows off of the bird. (I can barely make out any shadow here....)

    I can't believe this is already a full month ago!!

    Excellent walking pose, and of course the reflected condo colours look great and I like the blue ripples mixed in with those. I also like the wind-swept chest feathers.

    Hi Artie, I do have another frame that is more centered but with a different head angle and I will post that as soon as I can process it.

    Indranil:

    The shadows are subtle enough that they certainly don't distract, and perhaps even help to draw our eye more towards the beautiful reflections around the neck and head.

    Agree about the head angle, like the wind blown feathers.

    Beautiful image.

    cheers
