Simplified Stilit

[Indranil Sircar]

This one is from earlier in the week... I was photographing diving terns when couple of stilts flew right at me landing few feet away! I liked this particular frame with dangling feet and open bill. For processing used multiple adjustment layers for selective colors and saturation. Also, added a layer with Topaz simplify and adjusted the opacity. Hope you like it...

Indranil, I like this flight image..the lines of the wings and the legs converging to draw your eye to the stilt...the hint of motion and the sense of depth from the waves in the background...and the open beak is the icing on the cake. Great capture, subtle processing...nicely done!

Indranil, I love the dangling feet and the open bill too. Nice job on the original capture. The processing is subtle and nice.

This is very nicely composed and processed. I like the legs and the open beak, but it's the curve of the wings that I find really special.

Hi Indranil, the dangling feet and the open bill make this a lovely capture. Very nice work!

[Maureen Allen]

Nice one, Indranil. These are such graceful birds. I think you captured that well with this image.
