Looking into the Setting Sun...

[David Roach]

EOS R RF 100-500 @238 f9 1/4000 ISO 2000 HH, Manual EXP, cropped from horizontal

Created just as the sun was about to drop on a mostly clear horizon. Loved the way the light coming from over my shoulder and far to the left caused light and shadow to accentuate every nook and cranny of this gnarled face.

Thanks as always for all valued and helpful feedback. More of same very appreciated and learned from.

Really well detailed close up plane and DOF optimum and the plumage looks great, colours look good too.

Hi David, the stork looks good. Detail and color look good. I think that F/9.1 did not separate the bird well from the background. A smoother/pure background would take this over the top. Thank you for sharing.
