Great Blue and Lighthouse
Jan 26, 2019 15:03:12 #
I took this photo in 1996 while walking along the beach by the Sanibel Lighthouse. The great blue heron suddenly landed in the mangrove just ahead of me. I snapped the shot with my Canon EOS 10S using Fuji Velvia. I was never fully satisfied with the shot until a few years later I was playing around with it using some free Photoshop plugins that I got somewhere. The final result was this. I printed it and it now hangs in my home.

This works for me on several levels: the prominence of the bird immediately catches my eye, the other elements establish a setting, the white space between the image and the thin line border helps prevent it from feeling too busy or crowded. Love it!

The bird alone, or the lighthouse alone, would be just boring, but both together in that composition make it an excellent shot, and I really like your special rendition!

That’s a nice one, Jim. I’d recognize that lighthouse anywhere. And, you’ve done a nice job with the processing.
