Headshot

[Brian Sump]

Since it's Avocet season, here's a portrait :-)

This one came in at minimal focus distance, which was a blast. So intimate.

Some cropping but it was composed as a portrait.

840mm
Handheld
ISO 2000

LR and PS. Evicted some bright spots in the dark plumage and a second catchlight.

So Beautiful Brian love all the colors. Just a real beauty. Sharp and well processed. Now I'm going to have to try and get those colors LOL.

Hi Brian,

As Avocets go, that's about as good as it gets!

Really quite stunning!

The colours, detail, pose and HA all look real good and complement each other. The BG shows the bird well. Well captured and processed Brian. Perfecto.
