>>3978612I don’t think the bird pops out enough, it would probably look better if it was in color or the whole image was color. Do you ever use ND filters for creamier water? I like your this in B+W
>>3974111>>3973164 but this works better in color >>3973167 have you used color filters for B+W? https://www.ilfordphoto.com/colour-filters/When the birds are angular and the shapes are geometric B+W works but when it’s too organic shaped I don’t like it.
>>3977356With the foliage it could look more like those paintings I mentioned. If you haven’t tried those filters consider it, or use a polarized to slow down the stops. Great photos. I uploaded what could work in color with smooth blending water and a small subject if you can find inspiration from this perfect rule of thirds image.
