Super! In perfect harmony with the background.
Beautiful work, Hellen! Especially the last image and the header photo. They’re so beautifully sharp, almost as sharp as a razor blade. In my humble opinion, National Geographic quality! But then again, that seems to be something you two produce quite regularly. 🙂
I used to ruin quite a few shots like these by relying on evaluative metering. After some advice from Ted, I finally made the switch to spot metering, and I have to say it has made a huge difference for me, particularly in situations like this.
Your heron is beautifully exposed, full of detail and wonderfully balanced. You’ve done a fantastic job!
