Looks great.. I am no pro but I know what looks good to me Is there
land behind the water, or did you adjust the color.. Either way, if
that's what it looks like, I love it..


The green in the background is actually the water, and is the way it
looked when the photo was taken. The sun was very low, so it was
reflecting the pine trees behind the water. I originally was taking
some photos from the other side of the creek to get the sunset, and the
water was the typical Lake Lanier color. I moved around to the opposite
side of the creek to get closer to the egret, and the light values
changed completely. I shot this in RAW, so the only adjustments I did
to the photos was to adjust the exposure and contrast. The saturation
is the way it came out of the camera.
