Taken during a warm summer evening last year. Never seen wagtails play in the reeds like this.
Sony A1, 200-600 @ 600mm, ISO 1600
Denoised and with a -100 microcontrast mask on the entire background to smoothen out the rather busy and jagged background; increased white balance to 5400k (from ~5100) to make it feel a bit warmer.
Nice job in the field and post!
Thank you!
Anything I could have done better in post?
I can’t see anything, but it’s hard to tell on my small screen. If the end use is for digital distribution I thought it looked very good.
I can’t comment on what size print could be made from it though.
Beautiful. A great small-in-frame composition and absolutely gorgeous colours!
Thanks, that means a lot to hear!
