Egret Taking off

[Jay Bernstein]

Lens: EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM (http://shop.usa.canon.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10051_10051_171798_-1)
ISO: 200
Aperture: f8
Shutter Speed: 1/640

I took a similar image a couple of years ago with a canon rebel xti. I am amazed by the amount of detail I am now getting with the 7D.

Hi Jay,
I would like to see more room in front. The whites are blown on the leading edge of the left wing. I like the dynamic pose and the dangling feet. I would lighten the dark bit in the top BG as it draws the eye to that area,
