Another image from Day 1 in Iceland.
ISO 1250 SS 1/2000 F 5.6
Canon 1DX 600mm and 1.4x
The first time I saw this bird (years ago in Nome) I wasn't very impressed as I thought they looked a bit like a gull. But after spending time with them I realized how beautiful these birds are. I love the silkyness of the feathers and that fabulous tail.
We found a pair in Iceland that were very cooperative and not aggressive at all.
PP:This is full frame vertical crop from landscape orientation.Do I need a bit more room below?
Nothing added or cloned.
Usual LR sliders and in PS did NR to BG, levels, and USM to JPEG
Comments and critiques always learned from and appreciated with thanks,
