About the Image(s)
: Reflection
Exif details: Nikon Z5, Nikkor 70-100 at 100 mm, ISO 50, f/16 for 1/125 sec., Manual, 0 EV.
Description: It’s an in-camera multiple exposure shot combining one picture of sunset and another picture of the waterbody at Keoladeo National Park, Bharatpur, India. I have tried to capture how reflection on water showcase the surreal beauty of the waterbody at this park.
I did multiple exposure because I wanted to see how the beauty of sunset can be encapsulated in the scenic beauty of whitish acacia trees of this park. These acacia trees are habitat of storks and cormorants.
I did some global edits in Lightroom.

You did a great job with the double exposure and created a beautiful image. It looks like you followed the rule of thirds in placement of the sun which works well to my eye because of the rising horizontal line of the larger trees on the right. It appears you have some artifacts of the trees from the double exposure you may want to remove. I would also remove the very light post on the far right. Posted: 02/12/2025 01:22:19
Michael, Thanks for your detailed review. Well, I didn't think of rule of thirds, but I think of placing the sunset picture on the left because sun sets on the west. I am glad that you liked rising horizontal line of trees as that was one of the reasons I captured the first image.
Yes, there are some artifacts of the tress from the double exposure which I deliberately kept. However, after reading your comment it makes more sense to remove them.
The apparent lamp post on the far right is actually the pillar to measure the water level of this waterland. I thought if I would crop it, there would be very less breathing space beside the big tree on the right. And I didn't want to erase that post either.
I will do both these changes as you recommended adn will see how it looks. Posted: 02/12/2025 03:46:57

Very well done!
the setting the exposure and the idea are all seamless. Great work Posted: 02/13/2025 01:41:05

Just a suggestion, but you may try to use only the dark picture and make the trees silhouette. I think that will give a more dramatic look. Posted: 02/16/2025 07:30:47
Interesting photo. The in camera double exposure at different times of the day is impressive. I'm curious, how long did you have to wait before capturing the second image so the camera could process the double exposure? For me, waiting to take the second photo probably wouldn't work unless I had a second camera with me. Too many beautiful birds to photograph at this location! Good job. Posted: 02/16/2025 14:02:53
