Taken in Ding Darling NWR using a Canon Digital Rebel and the Sigma 300-800mm lens at 800mm and a 1.4 extender on a Wimberly Tripod locked down. ISO 400 at f8. Not the color you get in March as this was taken early Jan.
As always, comments appreciated,

Hi Roman Very nice pose, exposure just perfect and good looking bg !!! Just feel is a bit tight in frame I like this image very much Always glad to see the spoons at Ding !!! Big Congrats !!!

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like the pose, details and eye contact. I agree that it is a bit tight in the frame.

Hey All,
I wanted to back off..........probably should have (especially with the zoom).....but there was a bird just off to the right and tree garbage to the left.

Love the pose here Roman with great colour and detail. Extra space all around would put this image over the top!!!

[Maxis Gamez]

Love the pose.

I have a question. Why is the bird and perch glowing??

[Roman Kurywczak]

Thanks all, will add canvas as it is very easy........if you haven't noticed..big fan of tight crops but even I agree....this could use a little more. As for Maxis...........I don't see it on my screen...does anyone else?

[Tom Cudzilo]

Excellent colors and I love the background. Dont mind the crop at all. Thanx for sharing.

[Arthur Morris]

No glow here. The forehead looks just a bit funky as if it were multiplied too much...

later and love, artie

Don't know why............did absolutely nothing there except for overall sharpening...........and normal other adjustments,
