Water Games - Common Grackle

On a hot day, seek out water puddles to catch birds at play. A setting sun helps with the light.

Canon 7D with the 500L f4 lens handheld lying down @ 1/800, f4, +1 exposure compensation, ISO 400.

This one was a little more complicated to format due to my horizon being tilted while shooting lying down.

Image had its horizon corrected. I had to transform/skew the bottom right corner to bring it back onto the canvas without losing the reflection. Cropped to fit my usual 12 x 16 frame. A bunch of water spots clonned away. The pupil of the eye could have benefited with a touch-up to reduce impression of softness.

Cheers,

Mike
