This image was created at Fort DeSoto Park on September 26, 2016. I used the hand held Canon EF 400mm f/4 DO IS II USM lens with the Canon Extender EF 1.4X III (at 560mm) and my all-time favorite Canon body, the EOS 5D Mark IV.). ISO: 5000! Evaluative metering plus about 1 2/3rd stops: 1/25 sec. at f/6.3 in Manual mode was more than perfect. AWB at 7:09am on a very dark, cloudy morning.
I posted this image in the The Final Word on Exposing to the Right. Or not? Filling Added Canvas with the Rectangular Marquee Tool. Anything Bug You? And Just How Dark Was It? blog post here and asked what bugged me about the image? Nobody could figure it out despite lots of comments. So what bugs you about this image? You can learn a ton and see the original by visiting the blog.
As for the image, don't be shy -- all comments are welcome.
