Taken at the Upper Newport Bay Ecological Reserve, Newport Beach, CA.
The light was tricky on this one: strong sunlight plus reflections from the water, but also shadows from some trees and the bluffs behind me. Couldn't figure out how to deal with the greyish areas on the bird without blowing out some of the whites, so the image as posted is a bit of a compromise as far as exposure is concerned.
Canon 7D and the 400mm f/5.6 lens. Manual; f/6.3; 1/2000sec; ISO 200.
Thanks for looking,
John
