Goose Portrait

[Stu Bowie]

I went to the University of Pretoria sports ground on saturday, and came away with this portrait. We were standing right next to the water, so I was able to crouch down and capture an eye level perspective. The water BG is as shot, no adjustment done there at all.

Stuart, I like the sharp details and the blue color tone of the BG. Fantastic eye!

Superb details and lovely colors. Love how the angled light adds definition.

Stuart:

Great colors here, the oranges and blue play so well together.

Roger Clark would be proud of your demonstration of the effect of phase angle on the amount of definition in the image.


Very nice indeed.

Cheers
