Another from a week ago. This was nearly high key in the original, so I decided to take it all the way, thus reducing the impact of the grasses.
Anything
Is this a composite: No
Sony a1, FE 200-600 + 1.4 TC 535 mm, hand helf from car window, f/9, 1/400, iso 1600, manual exposure. Processed in LR & PS CC. Cropped to 7008x5382.
I like the high key look, Dennis. I might consider cloning out the branch in the lower left corner. But that’s a minor thing. I really like the positioning in the frame. Very cool.
I also enjoy the high key comp. I think you might be able to maintain the black saturation but still bring up more of the detail in the dark plumage by using the shadows slider…
I like the high key approach in this photo. There is just enough of the background grass to keep my interest. I love red winged black birds but they leave us in the winter. We know it’s spring when they show up again.
Excellent high key image, Dennis! I like your thinking.
The one thing I’ll bring up is that my eye seems to want a tad more room on the left and bottom for the blackbird’s tail.
