    I took this Photo early morning in Nd. I like the contrast the snow gives. Shot from blind on tripod. Photo shop lightened the eye and clone tool to remove small branch. Also added canvas at the top Levels and sharpened.Would have liked more shutter speed but don't like raising the ISO.Maybe 5.6 or 6.3 would have been better. When birds are dancing 1/500 is about the minimum you can get by with.Probably shot around 7 am.
    Camera 5D Mark 1V

    shutter speed 1/500 aperture 7.1
    ISO 1600

    Beautiful image Kevin. I hope one day I can witness this species in action. I am in agreement with Tim. I do wish I could see the feet.

    That little snow ridge wasn't your friend, but everything else was. Beautiful image that I wish I had shot.
