Surprisingly, this came out very well. I also reversed the correction process doing the haze reduction first and then balancing the colors. It looks a bit better than the monopod mounted version.
Mugger Crocodile
Yala National Park, Sri Lanka.
Handheld from a distance using a Sigma 150-500mm lens in the afternoon. Not Cropped at all.
Thanks to my good friend Pro Photographer, Clifford Murray who accompanied me to Yala just before it closed down for maintenance work.
FACTS
The mugger crocodile is found throughout the Indian subcontinent and the surrounding countries, including India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Two subspecies are endangered: the Iranian Crocodile - C. p. palustris and the Ceylon Mugger Crocodile or Sri Lanka Swamp Crocodile - C. p. kimbula. Mugger crocodiles are medium to large crocodiles depending on the subspecies and range in size from 5.9 to 13 feet. Females have been known to grow at a faster rate than males. Both endangered subspecies are greenish-olive in color with darker markings and can reach a body length of 13 feet.
Thank you for your visits, faves and comments. Constructive criticism and suggestions are most welcome!

I use an Einstein 640 strobe with a 22" beauty dish & diffusion sock mounted on an Elinchrom Handheld Boom Arm. I typically fire my camera off with a wireless trigger, and that in turn fires my CyberSync™ Trigger Transmitter on my Nikon D800 to fire off my strobe via a CyberSync™ Transceiver. I end up taking several exposures, both high and low, while walking around the vehicle. I'll layer the images in Photoshop and switch each layer to the 'lighten' blend mode. I have been using layer masks to remove some highlight details from the strobe reflection, but I don't always find it works all the time. 1970 Plymouth Duster, 2016 Mountain Thunder Car Show in Old Fort, North Carolina. I shot the car in full daylight with about 5 stops of ND filtration and had the flash power at maximum.
