About the Image(s)


I made this image at Wakodahatchee Wetlands in Florida recently. It was getting dark and all of the birds were returning to their nests for the evening. I processed in Lightroom and converted it to monochrome in Silver EFX Pro. Taken with my Nikon Z8 and 28 to 400mm lens at 1/2000 sec, f/8 and ISO 5000.

Howard, I wish I had your talent for monochrome conversion! The effect is stunning.

That said, it's not terribly natural looking. The stark black BG contrasting with the very white bird seems unlikely. If I were judging, this would score well in Mono but probably not in Nature.
