Good evening all:

The only good use for a condo is to throw a nice reflection, as seen here at Little Estero. Image created during recent IPT with Artie.

Way to work the reflected color on the water.
The image is exposed well and nice and sharp.

The only thing I will offer is a slight adjustment to the composition that IMO will make this an even stronger image. (see attached)

Nice meeting Sunday!

James:
Thanks for the repost. I did try several different crops before posting. I did one with less water at the bottom, but liked the color so much I went back to my original. I like yours too.

Cheers

Terrific colors and Red never looked better

On second though, I lkie the original with all the space at the bottom. In any case, I may make it more narrow.

While I do like the colors of the water, I prefer the cropped version. There is no reason why you could not have both.

Hi Randy, it was nice to meet you on the IPT! Some of those condos really did emit interesting reflections...and you chose a great one for Red. I like the stance, and we can see some hints of the unusual white feathers he had on his wings.

Thanks Daniel:

A pleasure to meet you as well. I had made the Reds my mini assignment for that session at Estero, so concentrated on them, looking for best angles and reflections.

The birds did not let me down.

Did you have a strong feeling on the crop?

Cheers

Daniel Cadieux · Feb 21, 2009

Composition-wise I like that James trimmed some off at left, but I also like all the water at bottom of yours. In any case a vertical composition was a good choice here ;-)

Gorgeous colors and lighting, I prefer the comp of the repost.

Hi Randy, I prefer your crop.
