On my quest for "other types of images" this morning i went out to a wetland not so far from my home to test out my new wading suit. This GWH was willing to pose for me in early morning light.

Now if I'd seen this had won WPOTY I'd have been well pleased
Wonderfully atmospheric and moody image

A really nice image Jeroen - great atmosphere, lovely light.
I'd have been tempted to place the bird a little further to the left but that is just a personal choice. Good work.
Cheers, Chris

Interesting moody shot Jeroen. Did you use filter for the effcet or is this PS'd?

Lovely Jeroen, like the fore, mid and background bands

Hi Guys,
Thanks for your comments so far!
To Des: No special filters used..just morning fog and use of Better Beamer to illuminate the bird.
