Congratulations Gary!!!
Nikon D3s, Nikkor 600mm, 1.4TC, f5.6, 1/1600, iso 1600, manual, tripod, high overcast, mid Am, local irrigation reservoir, early Sept.. I was well concealed with a throw over blind. Birds in flight opportunities accounted for the relatively high iso. and shutter speed. Post processing included levels, removal of some dark blobs and bright spots in the bg, selective bg noise reduction and selective sharpening of the subject. I particularly like the diagonal line. Negatives include a missing foot, the slimey green muck and the busy bg. The bottom of an irrigation reservoir in late summer is not the rocky coast of New England or the surf swept sands of the Gulf. C & C appreciated.
