I created this image in August, 2008 while in Hamilton, Ontario. Although I really like this pose, the red eye and the lighting it is a VERY big crop (~25% of full frame) and I've been hesitant to post it.
I couldn't approach any closer to the bird because it was on a bar which was on Harbour Authority property so I had to photograph it from the public road.
Canon EOS 40D, Sigma 50-500mm at 500mm, 1/2500 seconds, f 8, ISO 400.
I suppose that I should have reduced the ISO and increased the exposure. I'd like to get your advice on the crop as well. Should I have tried a landscape format version? I'd have to clone out a few branches that are not visible here.
