This is the frame just before the one posted in "The Happy Heron." You can see how the water is almost featureless as a result of overexposing the image slightly. But, by sacrificing the water, it opened up the shadows underneath the bird's wing which would have been almost featureless if I had used the "correct" exposure value. Many times it is a trade-off because the range of light is more than a a camera can handle and you have to decide whether it is better to over or underexpose. It may seem counter intuitive, but a gray day can actually be better because the range of light is less and the camera can handle the entire gamut.
