Superb work! Great contrast, excellent composition. I love the layers in the sky. This image would approach perfection if the bird was turned in the opposite way. Best regards, Alain
Thanks to all of you for your nice comments. Chris: ooops, I'm more into photography than into birds. Thanks a lot for the input! I hesitated a long time between the title above or simply "Lust". My mistake is maybe the sign that I should change for simplicity. This image is anything but computed-generated. The combo 5DIII + 500mm + amazing light made it. The post-processing is almost limited to the RAW global treatment. I was lucky that day!
A beautiful image, very well composed. Nice use of the tilt. Well worth a POD distinction! Do you have other pictures of this very attractive place? Did you try to shoot from the rock in the foreground? Best regards, Alain
Shot in 2013 somewhere in the Vesterålen islands, Norway. I can't find exactly where. Usually Google maps helps but not this time... Thanks for your comments!
Thanks for your nice comments!
Jack: at the end of the postprocessing, I really hesitated to cut that blue upper part... but found the image to be a bit unbalanced (although a bit more appealing in terms of colours, you're right). Thanks for the input!
