I don't care what any one says, its cold out here!

Taken this AM at the local bird sanctuary. 7 degrees F windchill, birds sitting pretty tight because of that.
Have not gotten out much this winter, so wanted to check things out. Fun to see the usual suspects and listen to the trumpeter swans toot. This first year juvi was not really pleased about the weather.

Panasonic GH4, 100-400mm at 400mm f/6.3 ISO 1000

Post: Minor crop for comp, softened the background shadows.

Just for fun

Cheers

That's a great look at why these guys can inflict a serious bite! I wouldn't mind seeing a bit more neck, but I love the detail and expression. Many of us have been saying the same thing this winter...

[Bill Dix]

My sentiments exactly. Great detail, and lovely dental work.

Great image and detail.

Terrific, that GH4 does a fine job! what lens did you use? Do you ever use the 4k video with this rig?

[Jonathan Ashton]

Randy love the colours/tones and the shape of the crop.

[Steve Kaluski]

Very cool Randy with some exquisite detail.

As presented it works, but if you have time, I might be tempted to add a Channel Saturation adjustment and a Midtone Curves adjustment with a blend mode change to the inside of that lovely bill, it just brings some small additional colour and detail back in.

Nice one.
