Kingfisher II

[Andreas Liedmann]

Hi all ...
captured this image last year in January at a commercial setup . I do like the stare the female gave me ... albeit DOF falls short . The bill could not be completely in the focal plane ... sadly .... unless I would have used a different lens and distance to subject .
Hope you still do find it attractive

Canon EOS R3
EF 200 - 400 IS L at 560 mm
Tripod

F 5,6 ; Iso 1000 ; 1/125 sec .... was shooting with various shutter speeds during the session

Processed with DT 4.6.1 and PSCC 2024 ; slight crop to 80 % of FF

Thanks for looking and commenting to my previous postings

Cheers Andreas

Hi Andreas, from a technical standpoint first class but for me it is confusing - sorry buddy thumbs down for me......Lichens on the perch maybe a little saturated??

[Andreas Liedmann]

Thanks Kevin and Jon for your comments , much appreciated .

@ Jon .... no problem Jon , not sure what does confuse you ? Lichens ... could get lower saturation , no problem , but I like it that way .

Cheers Andreas

Its the bill/oral cavity - difficult to decide what is what.

Thanks for your clarification ... I knew it would not work for all folks
