From late fall this year at Fort Tilden in Queens, New York. Background is some Goldenrod. Not sure if it is too distracting from the bird. Curious what others think. Taken in beautiful early morning light.
Canon 7d ii and Canon 500 f4 ii + 1.4x iii. ISO 500, F8, SS 1/800. Tripod mounted.
Converted in DPP 4. In PS I cropped, sharpened, NR to background, lightened eye. Lowered contrast a bit on background.
