Another of the earlier spring arrivals, and another song that soothes the ear beginning in March...signalling the near end to winter.This was a good handholding test for the new gear and it passed with flying colours!
Canon 7D + 500mm + 1.4X TC, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/250s., f/5.6, ISO 800, natural light, handheld, FF, darkened pupil (burn tool), lightened the darkest stalk via dodge tool.
The striking thing about this image to me is the perfect composition , my eye did not look for details or any thing first I just loved the perfect placement of the components here. Super handholding image
Great capture ,Daniel. I love the pose with the prominent red shoulder patches , the HA and the detail in the crossed over primaries.
Congrats on the new gear. Now for some gym work for hand holding !!
