"hey girls, look at my foot!"
Horned grebe or Slavonian grebe taken in Iceland. I think this was more than a stretch, as there was another grebe close by and they both did a bit of frolicking...They would stretch out low in the water and then the male would explode into a chase.
Overcast at the time when I shot this and the blacks had noticeable noise. I processed in DPP, onto PS where I decreased exposure on the blacks, and also added a few points of black in Selective Color. There was a blueish cast and so I added a point or two of yellow and that seemed to make a noticeable difference. I notice a bluish green in the back of the black neck but i am certain the water color is showing through the thinner feathers there. Added some contrast as well. Selectively sharpened the foot, selectively applied NR to blacks around the head and BG, neat image... Not a fan of green water and don't care for the highlighted white areas in the water... Any suggestions?
