@skipt07 Don't mind answering at all, Skip. I have a series of 4 of these dove shots and every one came out with the same lighting and detail - just floored me. I only cropped. I went back to look at my settings to see what was different and the aperture was a little narrower than I usually shoot, but that was it. The stars must have been lined up right! I'd love to be able to process and replicate a shot like this again but have no idea how.
@milaniet - That impresses me even more. All you dove shots have a very slight HDR quality to them. Some tend to over do HDR and then there are those who add just the right amount to bring out the right amount of detail around the edges like yours! I am envious of this series! Very nicely done! A HUGE FAV!
