Its like when i was bird watching and saw all the falcons flying around or a love bird . I’m so used to seeing grackles , doves and stuff thats its nice to see other more rare birds . Oh and yesterday I saw a whole family of Quail.
Lovely shot, Katherin! It reminds me of a postage stamp. I especially appreciate the contrast and reflection in the water. That being said – the water seems so inky and I fooled around on Photoshop to add back blue to it – for fun!
Thank you! It was quite surreal. And lol the water, apparently, is full of trash, actually (including bikes and things), so inky is an appropriate word.
Glad you like it!
There’s a feature called “shadows/highlights,” which lightens all the shadows. Then I put a blue filter over the background. I preserved the luminosity, so it didn’t make the bird blue.

That’s what I’m used to seeing. It was so surreal for this swan to be floating right by my feet, all elegant and what not.
