    Yesterday as I was about to leave a local wildlife preserve, I heard a very distinctive Bobolink call, so I called back and he flew in and landed on a Multiflora Rose plant not far from me. It was quite overcast so I spent a bit of time in post trying to do the blacks justice. C&C welcome.

    D500, Nikon 500mm f4/G + 1.4 TC, 1/800s, f 7.1, ff @ -3.0, ISO 1600, Gitzo, Wimberley Gimbal head.

    Geoffrey, neat looking bird, nice environment, some artifacts in the BG, minor splotching, good HA and exposure.

    Lucky you. I've yet to get this fellow in breeding plumage up close. Love the look-back pose that gives a great look at the dorsal plumage. Exposure good; habitat good. BG could use a bit of NR.

    Thanks Tim and Bill. Cleaned BG up, but there may still be work to do. Tim, I hope by clicking "Go Advanced" when replying will put both of your replies/ Quotes in this same frame. If not would you please tell me how to do that. Tim I'm looking at Preview Post and Bill's Quote did not show.
