I took this picture while on a birding walk with the Portland Audubon Society. I was using a Nikon 600mm f/4 AF-S II lens. I did not bring my tripod with me because it was a walk and it was very difficult to shoot with this very heavy lens handheld. It was difficult to get this bird in focus and composed in frame correctly. I did crop this photo to show just the bird and the reflection. I cropped it so that the bird fell along the Golden Rule lines in Lightroom. Aperture was at f/4 and shutter was 1/800 seconds. I did use HDR Photomatix Pro, Topaz Adjust’s Spicify, masked in parts with Photoshop, and adjusted the Hue/Saturation on the yellows and blues in Photoshop.
