    Going through some older files, I came across this RBGR which I had imaged in 2016 at a local wildlife preserve. Cropped from horizontal. C&C welcome.

    D4s, 500mm f 4.0G + 1.4 II TC, 1/1250s, f 6.3, flash fill, ISO 2500, Gitzo, Wimberley Gimbal head.

    Did some eye doctoring in CS6.

    Whites look OK but blacks look a bit underdone, could probably extract a bit more detail. Good head position, interesting bird.

    Good portrait of this guy. The exposure looks pretty good to me -- tough to get both the whites and blacks right on this bird in the sun. You might tweak a little more detail out of the blacks, but not much. I'd be tempted to tone down the bright parts of the background.

    Pretty nice portrait of this fella. The framing looks good. The bird is nice and sharp.
