Wonderful capture and processing... love the intensity of color in the blues of the wings with the reflection in the water.

Stunning, painterly, surrealistic ! Scanned Velvia - the ultimate medium !
Daniel Dempster replied:
Thank you. I really need to scan more of my work that is on film. It's just so time consuming. I'd love to get back down to the Everglades to shoot birds again.

Film you say! Wow. This is a great shot and the colors are just amazing. I am wondering though if this is perhaps a Tricolored Heron instead? The shape of the head, color or the beak, and white underparts look more to me like a Tricolored Heron. None to matter though. I just hope someday to capture such a shot myself. I love your work. Ro

Thank you. I guess it could be as I'm not truly a birder. I researched it after I had shot it but it is entirely possible I got it wrong. I'll check again and change the title,,, etc if I got it wrong. Thanks for calling my attention to it.
Daniel Dempster replied:
I think you are right. I'll change it. Thanks. I think I probably shot this on Fujichrome Velvia 100.

Gorgeous colors, even in the water. Nice shot!
Daniel Dempster replied:
Thank you. The sun had nearly set when I shot this and I wasn't sure whether the bird would be still enough for me to get the shot as I had to use a slow shutter speed. This was back when I was shooting film.
