p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Water fowl and early color


I'm continuing to work on my fowl in fall color reflections project which is ongoing for many years. My favorite location for this has been Oakland Lake and following "Improvements" I'm not confident that I can continue to execute there. I visited the Twin Lakes Preserve on Long Island and found that the small pond that is next to the lakes may be perfect. The color is just starting and the fowl there are rather shy. I did get some nice enviromental portraits that I'm sharing.

Sweet images, Morris! I like the darker background, like in Nos. 1, 2 and the swan in 7.

Excellent set. I really like the first. For one thing, the fall colors take up more of the frame. Along with the reflections and the birds, the colorful quotient is quite high. I also like the light texture in the blurred foliage. Makes a nice contrast with the smoother foreground. I do not know the origin of the texture (f stop/lens combination?) but it gives the image an artistic spin that I like.

Good start to the fall reflection season Morris. I'm liking #1 and #7 as my picks. Unlike Brev00 above, I find the rendering of that nice coloured background in #1 to be rather harsh. I'd consider using a blur over it in PS.

Thank you Louie,
I'm also fond of 8 and wish the male's head were pointing the same direction as the female's or even turned a bit to the camera

Thank you Josh,
in 2 I was concerned that the bright leaves would be a distraction and your confirming that it works

Thank you Brev,
The leaves and foliage have a bit of a texture to them and then the Sigma 150-600 Sport's bokeh did the rest.

It's funny how one person's eye will go for a look like that and another will not. I think the best would be if the entire image were sharp yet that's not going to happen at 600mm in low light. The swan image uses both contrast and the vibrant colors to grab attention. I'm quite fond of it as well.
