Golden Water Reflection

Gallery: AvianPosted February 22, 2015127 views12 comments

I like the beautiful gold waterer color and the sharpness level I was able to achieve. I used Content Aware Fill to remove a small rock in the right foreground. Processed using Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC 2014. Comments and critiques welcome.

Amazing light and nice tuck that this bird is giving you. The room on the right looks a bit wasted - I'd consider a square crop

Jerry, the golden reflections in the water are a terrific addition to the duck's pose. Well seen and presented.

Man, talk about liquid gold!!! Nice capture with great detail. I might look at that square crop also.
