Sometimes we take a photo more for fun than believing it would stand out amongst the others and then it surprizes you at PP time. This is one of those - on the way to our local botanical garden's exit I saw this spot in the middle of a natural stream which appeared to be popular bird bathing area. Probably because of its width (clear view of possible danger) and its shallow depth. I decided to hang around for a few minutes and was rewarded with a few birds taking a bath about 15 metres from me.
Common sharpening & dimming highlights (bright morning sun) in LR. Brights reigned in even more using LM's in PS. Cropped to about 20% of original.
All C & C's welcome
