Ben, this is a great capture - such a unique moment captured in time. And funny too, like you said. But aren't egrets supposed to be white, not grey? I think this image still needs some post processing to realize the drama that is here. Lets see this with white birds and saturated colors, please?

I don't know PF I came home read your post and went right to work on it. I tried several diff versions but the best I could come up with is this:

does that seem better :dunno
this one seems hard to find WB. Look on 3 diff screens all look diff. Check color space, that's OK (AdobeRGB). Maybe someone else will come along and chk it out :dunno
Either way thank you for your input, always appreciate help, and Boy do I need it :D

Egrets are graceful birds and it's hard to imagine them as fighters. But
they do as I have learned while shooting them.

Nice capture!

Yes, Ben, you know I have been complaining about the colors for a long time: contrast and colors.

The content is fantastic!! I love this one. The Great white chasing off the snowy. I see that so often, but on the tree, usually behind much vegetation!

I think there is still a bit of Magenta in there. Are you shooting in RAW? Remember I had a color problem, Andy suggested that only I could fix it as it was a RAW thing. The fix was.

I read my book, took the little eye dropper clicked it on the bird, something white, and I use the color that comes up with.

Now, I am kind of a bit confused as that takes away some of the moodiness I like from the sweet light, sometimes I put a bit back in.

But I wonder if you have an ability to do that with RAW, too.

I love the photo.................amazing that all of you are coming up with the same colors, I told the same thing, in different more careful words, to one of the Jeffs this AM.

Maybe there is a lack of contrast in the light there. But that is why we have PS, enjoy.

I don't feel terribly well, in fact I have something like hives all over. And a sinus thing. Tired.

whine,

good shot,

I found that Snowys love to bicker and fight, but Greats don't get to excited except during that special time of year :D

Thanks Ian for stopping by :thumb

Thanks Harry, that is good news hate to think I'm going backwards :uhoh

Afternoon Khaos
Hot like the dickens (I'm keeping it clean :D) here, how's by you??

Thanks for replying

[bfjr]

This might be better, this might be worse. I did a lot of different things, would be hard to go into detail, though I could maybe list them. I don't think half or more were even necessary. I can see now that I got yellow, where yellow shouldn't be......... and it may be blown in places, I don't know.....

I still wonder what you have on your RAW thing. At one pt I thought the water wanted to be green. What color is the water naturally?

As usual, I will take this down if you want me to.

thanks G for giving it a go. To be honest It really was as gray as the 1st shot in real life, just like I said and Doc and Jeff have said we got hot, mucky, gray days here but I got a blue sky shot for you I'll post later :thumb

No problem leave it up as long as you like :D

I wondered if it didn't have to be kind of grey there, smog???, as you and the Jeffs were all posting the same color.

There is one, I will get the addy, on FM, same grey background, but one hell of a bird shot. I will get the addy, what did Harry tell you re RAW in his e-mail and FM?

Rutt sent me that addy a few days ago, told me to look at it. I saw it again today, and I thought about the grey colors. Yet the light was fantastic, contrast and all. Sweet light, yet good shutter speed. Right before the sun goes down, it gets very intense where I shoot. I can blow things easily.

Of course, once it gets dark, I blur things......... no wonder I use 4 gbs of cards and only get a few photos. I should only shoot for 5 minutes, then go home.:rofl

ginger

Your bird shots are fantastic!
Oh, and I thought that you all were probably thinking terrible stuff about my green algae on the water where I usually shoot.
