Well, of course, there is quite a lot of postprocessing in this one. The colour original is not bad, but I kept on working on it to translate the gracious line of the heron against the ripple of the water, and this is what I came finally up to.
Superbe abstract car finalement avec l'effet sur la surface de l'eau et le cadrage arrière, on peut se demander ce que c'est.. J'ai beaucoup cet effet d'allongement qui s'afine avec le cou du héron, et aussi le tilt de l'oiseau.. Très belle prise Christian Amicalement Fabrice
What for you are gracious lines is for me a match with feathers;-) The position of the heron is quite interesting, Christian, but I don't think it is to the benefit of the picture to remove the colors. With colors the water seems to remind on Monet or Renoir, and thats what's missing without colors.
