Critique Style Requested: Standard
The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
I rarely use my camera in the vertical position, but this shot pretty much demanded it. At 700 mm I was able to get close and this image is uncropped
Specific Feedback
Any thoughts appreciated. I’ve been going through a Color Theory course by Blake Rudis and have been learning and re-learning techniques. One thing I did in this image was to set the gray point in a curves layer and it really brought out the blue detail in the feathers.
Technical Details
Canon R5; 100-500 with 1.4 TC at 700 mm; 1/800, f10; ISO 400
Very nice portrait of the GBH, Allen. I’ll have to look at that course you mentioned. The whites look a bit hot in a couple of places, but I really like the rest of the plumage.
I’ve been buying vertical grips for my cameras for a number of years now to make it more convenient to go vertical. I wasn’t impressed by Canon’s for adding battery life, but I liked the way they made the camera handle. The original equipment ones are usually pretty pricey, but I’ve bought Vello equivalents and been very happy with their quality and performance.

Hi Allen, that’s one sharp heron. A tad bright in places but still a fine image. He seems to be giving you the eye. Nice catch.
