A Nice Cool Drink

[K9Kirk]

Saw this wood stork taking a drink and I liked it's reflection so I had to capture it.

No chance for theses here.
You had the time to protect the whites, why didn't you?

 

[Space Face]

Yes, pay attention. Sloppy

Nice shot, once I put the sunglasses on... sorry, had to join in... it is a very nice shot, though. I do wonder if it was a cool drink though... it's a waterway in FL in the Summer, so I'm thinking it was more of a tepid drink... I like the composition.

Very nice shot. The reflection is great.

That's how it looked in that light, the detail got lost in white feathers. There was no recovering any detail, trust me.

I am well familiar with the problem of shooting white subjects
and that is a very predictable condition easily solved with EV.

The whites were blown out, there is no solving it, at least not to my satisfaction.

May I suggest you invest a little investigation in exposure compensation?

I tell you what ... if you can correct the blown out white I will. Have at it!

I think I poorly expressed myself.

It is too late to try anything at this point but everything was possible
prior to SR, using your best friend the histogram, and applying EV.

Here's the original, untouched in jpeg.

I won't even try, Kirk.
Like I said: "too late after SR".

But next time, with EV, it will be ok!.

What software do you use that will reduce that light and not darken the rest of the picture?
