Willit

[Wheeler McDougal Jr.]

Went down to the Atlantic coast beach just north of Vero Beach, Fl late this afternoon for a walk with my Nikon 1 V2 and ran into a number of Willets scrounging for food in the surf. Spent some time photographing them with this little camera which I outfitted with Nikon's new VR 70 -300 f/4.5 - 5.6 lens. I found the results to be quite satisfactory and I would like to know what you all think. Shooting info as follows (remember the reach of the lens is a multiple of 2,7):

nice pose and good details. The image is a bit bright and the highlights in the BG are a bit distracting. I would put more room around the bird

arash- Thanks for your thoughts regarding this image. In the repost I used less crop and darkened down the exposure a notch. I think it looks better. What do you think?


Thanks again.

repost is better Mac, I might also try to warm up the colors a tad.

arash- The warmed up version I think is best. Thanks for the help.
