    That one is interesting, I'm still thinkin on it.
    Seems I was shootin big F stop small Shutter for the MC4 round, when
    this birdie stopped (in nice Light) and gave me a look
    The Shots at F18 :wow not my usual F stopheadscratch.gif
    But it does have an unusual texture to it, don't ya think ne_nau.gif

    I like it as is...I might try to do something with the water...just not sure what.headscratch.gif Maybe a graduated neutral density just on the water or a graduated color filter with the top being slightly darker than the bottom (of the water only).

    Excellent captures Ben. clap.gif I first started to use very stepped down apertures in Bosque and was very happy with the results.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Very nice shots, Ben. I might have to try the small aperture thing myself, if I ever see a bird again. :cry
