Thanks to everyone for their comments and constructive criticisms of the Heron images I posted last time. It seems that picture #1 & #2 got equal votes. So I ...made some changes as suggested and added 2 more images as was also suggested. Therefore can I ask you to vote one final time on which image you think I should submit to Canadian Geographic for The Wildlife Photographer of the Year. Thank You and don't forget to like and share

Path to the tree. Classic use of leading lines to turn a boring shot of a tree into something intriguing. #chrissalephoto #heyrachellerchlive #path #ontario #ontariophotographer

photoshop Sky Replacement - So I thought I would give Adobe’s latest update to Photoshop a try. Which of these images has the sky replaced? My first impression is that it works very well - at least for this image.... But the question becomes: is this really photography? In my mind it’s not. I don’t have an issue with altering images in photoshop as long as it’s done as an artistic expression. However where I draw the line is when elements of image is replaced by something that wasn’t there at the time it was captured. I guess it boils down to authenticity. One of these images I wasn’t the photographer that captured the sky #ontario #ontariophotographer #heyrachellerchlive #chrissalephoto #skyreplacement #waterfalls @ Burleigh Falls - Lovesick Lake

Winter Storm Feb. 2019. Sometimes it’s a good idea to go back and look at past photographs. I came across these images from Feb 2019. They were originally in colour, but I reprocessed in black and white. I think it made them lol very dramatic... #blackandwhitephotography #ontariophotographer #heyrachellerch #chrissalephoto #storm #lakeontario @ Whitby, Ontario

It was a grey old day today so wasn't able to find anything inspiring to photograph, but I did come upon this scene that sort of turned out ok. Went out initial...ly to see the Salmon running at Duffins Creek in Ajax, but it looks like we missed it by a few days as all we found were a few dead Salmon. So I've added a picture of a live one from a while back. See more

"Just Missed It" - White Heron comes up empty Rotary Park, Ajax

On Reflection - This is not too bad of a shot. I used 70-200mm lens at 200mm on an APS-C camera effectively turning it into a 340mm focal length shot. I also cropped in quite a bit to fill the frame with the Heron and reflection.

Some recent Fall images

Looking forward to the Fall colours. #fall #fallleaves #canon #ontariophotographer #heyrachellerchlive #chrissalephoto #durhamregion

Here is the original of the image in the previous post straight from the camera, for comparison

Playing around with Lightroom Presets - I like how it propagated the purple tones originally on the left side of the image throughout the rest of the image. #storm #lightroommobilepresets #canonphotography #canoneosrp #heyrachellerch #chrissalephoto #ontariophotographer
