Blakheide: Cananda goose (Branta Canadensis) at sunrise
Blakheide is a small piece of nature close to the place where I live. It's mainly covered with heath and pine trees and it still is a clay exploitation area. There are also many ponds that were created from digging up clay in the past what makes it especially attractive for water birds to pass along. I took some photo's of them in flight, but none of them came out acceptable because the sun was not behind me when I shot them, so they were very dark silhouettes and I decided to edit them that way. I changed the white balance and applied strong curves to enhance the darkness. The other shots were made the next morning at sunrise. Needless to say that I love these warm morning and evening colours!
