Nice detail, pose, comp, and reflection. On my calibrated monitor, there is a strong blue cast, especially at the transition between the black and white plumage.
I agree with David about the blue cast, probably because of the light angle. I really like the water ripple here!
Thanks for the observation with the transition color cast. I removed quite a bit of the blue from the original but couldn’t reduce it all. I think the low light angle at the time of capture was the main culprit.
Best,
Chuck
Beautiful reflection Chuck, I think you could go a bit brighter overall.
Great pose, perch and reflection, Chuck. I think I’d work on toning down that bright shoulder-it really draws my eye from the rather dim whites on the rest of the bird and particularly pulls my eye away from the face.
