Before/After. All I've done is applied two graduated filters - one on the sky to darken it and bring out the colours and contrast, one on the ground to lighten it and increase saturation a bit.

Shot in RAW on a Nikon D7000 with the kit 18-55mm lens, processed in Adobe Lightroom. photog.social/media/uKS4MTupBz

Went back to the kingfisher spot. Didn't see them there, just the geese - so crossed to the other side of the river and found them. Still pretty far away though. (Bunch of pics incoming)

The three winners of tonight's lightning shooting exercise at the beach. :) The last one is a photomerge of two photos. ISO 100, f-stop was 4 and shutter speed was 25s.

I also need to point out that that's not a reflection of the sunburst in the water. The sunburst happens with the sun comes through a small space, like tree branches, and it's only visible at a certain angle. It just so happened that when I took that photo, the sun's reflection in the water must have hit a tiny space between some rocks that also caused THAT lightsource to make the burst shape. I have other photos over the water with only the single burst.
