After over 1000 of these corvids decided to roost on my hotel window last night, I decided the least they could do was pose for a nice shot
unfortunately weather is pretty grim and light is very bad so in order to get a good shot with decent ISO I had to fall back to my 70-300 VR lens as my usual setup has no VR
These birds are either high in the trees or on the lawn which I did not like to much. Luckily after a while i found this one on a low branch
D800e
70-300VR @ 300mm
f5.6
1/500
ISO 2500
Almost full frame vertical crop. Cloned out some branches on the left
Usual PP with no NR on the bird as I exposed well to the righ on this one
sharpened subject and lightened head using soft light layer
C&C Welcome
