Beautiful job on the rail under difficult conditions, David. I’d be interested in seeing the surrounding vegetation as I wonder if the exposures could be recovered in the raw processing. I’ve seen some amazing recoveries of late and LR has gotten a lot more versatile and easier to work with.
David - these are so hard to catch in good light - great job!
Bright colours and eye, nice pose, and a bit of environment.
Maybe just a little tight on the top and left?
Really fine image!
I was going to ask if you used a flash as it was non mentioned in the technical section, but you answered that already. This bird probably already has lighter toned feather on its “chin” and cheeks, but I was wondering if the flash did not hit that area with too much light? I really like the reflection of this bird’s legs in the water for some reason.
