The fisherman's silhouette | Western reef egret

[hayath]

After a pretty productive session at the location with some good setting evening light. we ran to the other side of the lake to get some silhouettes with the evening hues forming the backdrop.

Was hoping to catch the splash(es) as this egret went about hunting, but these hardly make a splash.

good one, more contrast and colour will enhance it more.

Thank you Vignesh and Vimal!

Vimal,
  Let me give it another try with your suggestions to see how it looks. I was going for the subtle colors

Mostly, The warmer hues of sun look good for such shots. But, Hey, I like this tone and with that fish in its beak, it makes it even better.

Me too (:

Thanks both

Omkar,
  Yes the fish is what adds to the frame IMHO. And left out a bit of whites in the shadows to leave a hint on the bird species
