Sandhill Flight #1

Gallery: AvianPosted November 26, 2016172 views4 comments

Another from my recent Bosque trip. With sunny conditions, in post I used a bit of shadow/highlight to bring out some detail under the wing, added some canvas LHS and cropped to 4:3 aspect.

(edit) I failed to mention I used the 1.4X

Excellent job on the shadows, Bill. it's awfully easy to overdo that and this looks just perfect to my eye. Sweet image.

An excellent in-flight capture, Bill! Love the colors and detail, especially in the large version. I think you brought out the shadows just enough.

A nice image of the crane Bill. Nice angle for the bird, nice wing position. I think images are always enhanced when they are against a background that helps set the context. Blue sky images don't help with the context. You still managed a sharp flight shot. Good for you!

I like the shadows in this as they add somewhat to the design aspects of the image.
