Goose on a Log

Form and shape are important elements in a lot of my photography, so when I saw this goose with its wing out-stretched I was thrilled. What I did not see was the enormous amount of refuse in the water. Removing it was a trial and admittedly it’s not all gone. In color the form of the bird was lost to the waves and color in the water, so I decided to go for a monochrome treatment (Tonality Pro). Some creative blur to parts of the background helped. Overall this photograph took considerable time to process as I tried different techniques before finding the mix of solutions that got the result I wanted.
