I didn't totally understand the definition of high contrast so I'm no help there. Did you have your camera on auto mode? I have found that helps sometimes when there's a strong light reflecting in your direction. Oh I do love the scene tho. Nice balance with the crane(?) and the rocks.

If only the darn bird would have co-operated and let you get a nice shot of him with some rimlight for the high contrast, and yet not have the purple fringed highlights in the background. Wildlife should really take better direction. ;)

contrast is so high that it made this photo a bit out of focus, which I imagine was intensional.

The glare on the water is blown out, and the heron is lost in the dark water.

I'll assume that you were intentionally trying for this painterly, soft focus effect, but I don't know how well it's going to be received by most here.

Love the composition but the water sparkles are too jarringly bright and pink.
