This pensive fellow is a resident of Green Cay Wetlands. He was perched on his favorite stump one Sunday morning just thinking and thinking his morning away...:)
He was painted with a Nikon D70s, using a Nikkor 300mm f/4D.

looking good, gus!! i would crop the left side just a tick and maybe the top too. there seems to be a greenish cast to the image that could probably be fixed with a color balance. and yeah i see where you wrote at the bottom that the light was a little harsh. good critique there. hope all is well down south!!! see ya soon.
Gus you can try a double conversion for making the highlights better. Difficult to make the image work with the harsh light.
Besides the harsh light would like to know what the raw image looked like? I can't imagine a plus compensation for this image. You did manage a great pose and bg !!
Gus--what a great pose. Beautiful bird.
I did a very quick auto color adjustment in PS, which got rid of some of the green cast, but I agree with Al that it would be helpful to have the RAW image.
