Re: Rare Bird Shot
Nice work, Kevin, certainly don't want to waste light like that. I like the bird's eye checking you out, too. Good posing

Re: Rare Bird Shot
A really interesting photo. I had to look carefully before figuring out what I was viewing!
The colours of the bird against the very dark water work extremely well.

Re: Rare Bird Shot
Awesome lighting to be sure. The eye looks cool peeking out of there.

Re: Rare Bird Shot
Yes it 'tis, Karm. I did that when I rotated the image to gain a little diagonal. I was pretty certain no one would notice the perspective change so I lazily did no perspective adjustment. When will I learn you guys don't miss ANYTHING?? Originally Posted by Karm Redland
