Out to lunch

A stark background the sun in front behind the subject and plenty of action. In fact we happened upon two egrets doing what they do so well feeding. At a strike rate of 98% they consumed 30 fish whilst we watched.

I'm not sure I handeled the light to best advantage so any ADVICE CRITIQUE or COMMENTS most welcome.

Canon 1D3 Canon 800mm through vehicle window. ISO400 f/8.0 1/125sec AV Manual. RAW to lightroom then resized to post.

Thanks for looking.

Nice image, well exposed, in what looks like harsh lighting!
Paul.

A very striking image Barry


Not too sure what more you could have done as the light looks to be very harsh

Coping with harsh light seems to be an almost constant problem and I finish doing the best I can.

Sod's Law has it's way of factoring in the harsh light with a subject or good light provided with empty space and no subject.

No doubt within the realms of PP are measures which can be used to counter harsh light and that's work in progress for me.

Thanks for the comments Paul & Ian. Here is another attempt within the same environment.

Great composition, Barry. Might want to try getting rid of some of that blue cast - try a warming filter in photoshop (Image -adjustments - photo filter)

Thanks that works a treat makes the image pop now with a warm glow.

Nits covered but I like both images, Barry. Both well composed and the water droplets really add to the images.
