This is turning out to be a blackbird week.
40D. 400mm at f/5.6. iso 400. 1/1000s. slight crop for composition. nothing cloned.
I know this place where they gather in the evening in the cattails. Birds were there and within reach but getting one silhouetted like this amidst all the vegetation took some time. And wind was unfortunately very high. Had to maintain a good shutter speed.
Plenty of curves work to get rid of flare. I was shooting directly into the sun. I know there is noise but neatimage did not do as good a job as it usually does. Will have to try some selective stuff.
All C&C welcome.
