I have gotten photos similar to this one at the nearby rookery through the years, but this is the first one that I am fully satisfied with the positioning of both adult and babies. The big bonus is that it was in early morning light. A photo that tells a story is always the gold standard, so I hope this communicates to others similarly to how it does to me.
Post Type: Photography
Mixed Media: Minor | This was photographed raw, so I had to make minor adjustments to accurately reveal its natural contrast, highlights, and shadows while modestly enhancing texture, clarity, vibrancy, and saturation. Minor cropping was also necessary.
