Weekly Photo Challenge: Ephemeral (3 Birds in One Spot)

IMG- Birds

This image captured a special moment. The Cormorant was swimming there, the Egret was flying right above the water and toward the woods, while the Great Blue Heron was standing on a tree branch, but wasn’t paying attention to these two birds. 🙂

Thank you for visiting. Have a great week!

  Thank you soo much, Amy!! The only thing I did was to increase the exposure. The original photo was pretty dark. The birds, branches, and bushes didn’t need any touches. I’m always encouraged by your comment. 🙂 (((HUGS))) Amy

    It really looks like you added texture and saturation to this image, Amy. I really like what I saw. Then it must be the settings on your camera in order to get the effects you did. Good job!! I mean that. Your work is outstanding. (((HUGS))) Amy

      I had the Tv set for capturing the flying birds. So, this shot was like an accident… When I increased the exposure, I was happy to see the texture. 🙂
