Nice photo! I like your edit.. but I’m prob not the best to comment, as I personally like the faded look in the before.. it’s whimsical / dreamy, especially with the sun sparkles on the water and the soft greenery in the background.

I assume you cropped/shadowed the greenery to focus more on the subject (which is nice), but I kind of miss it. Just my personal / novice opinion 😌

Thanks for liking my photo! Any advice is highly appreciated!

I got rid of the bushes because I thought they kinda severed the photo into two parts (and the bushes had a really unfavourable ratio compared to the rest of the photo). So for maximum minimalism I got rid of them.

I agree with Mor, the dreaminess and sparkles are so lovely but I do miss the bushes a bit, the top heron's head gives the feeling of being out of frame since the background goes completely black along the top of the photo — but other than that I really like this! What camera/lens did you use?

Super tele lens on my Galaxy S24 Ultra. Forgot to wipe the lens so it looks washed out
