Horned Grebe in fog

[Indranil Sircar]

I took this couple of weeks ago in the morning under foggy condition... for processing, adjusted in ACR followed by Topaz Adjust... used a toned collection preset and adjusted the settings. Used adjustment layer for selective colors and adjusted the white bg for hk effect. Hope you like it...

Love the look and overall feel of this image. To me the few small white spots on the forehead and body are slightly distracting, but certainly not major. I wonder if you could possibly get a touch more definition in the eye, or is it just my tired old eyes. After saying all that, I do like this image a lot.

[Indranil Sircar]

Thanks Dave. You are correct... I should have cleaned those white spots. Here is a repost with more defined eye -

Indranil, I love the repost. The eyes contrasting with the toned image makes it really nice.

I look the look, and reworking the eye gave the whole image a boost. Great idea. If it were me, I'd crop some from the left. That'd still leave lots of swimming room and take the head out of the center.

Indranil, I love the high key background and the reflection. Nice job with this one!

[Grady Weed]

I agree with Denise above. The re-work is much better. Love the eye.

[John Ippolito]

Indranil,
beautiful toned image, soft feather detail, and the eye pulls me right in. Hi key BG makes this very special. Nicely done!

[Andrew McLachlan]

Indranil, the repost is lovely! The eye looks much better here...it really pops now

[Judy Howle]

I love repost! The monotone look with the red eye was a good choice. Nicely processed!

[Jay Sheinfield]

Frame it, hang it, or send it to me.

[Indranil Sircar]

Thank you all. I appreciate it a lot.
