Swamp Baby

[K9Kirk]

A few shots I took yesterday at Circle B Bar Reserve of a baby sandhill crane with it's mother standing on one of the trails. It was early afternoon and fairly bright outside so I increased the light to bring out some detail in the shadows. I barely touched any colors and left the vibrancy alone so hopefully they are more natural in appearance. Thanks for the tips.

Awe, that's a cute wee thing.

Yes, it is. I added some contrast, it was too washed/flat looking. I think it made an improvement.

@nokk When you find out for sure, let me know and maybe I can give you the tour.
