    Went fishing this morning on my boat with out planning on taking any photos but she flew by so I grabbed a quick one. I believe (?) she is a older juvenile.

    No fish either :(

    Edit: repost sharpened per Sids suggestion.

    MKIII, 700mm, 1/2500, f/5.6, ISO 500, EC +2/3

    Great light and pose. The repost looks oversharpened on my monitor. It would be helpful to leave the original and reply to your own thread with a repost. This way we could see what you changed and make suggestions.

    Wonderful BKGR. Nice light and wing position. Wish that the head had been turned a bit towards you. In addition, the face could use a bit more sharpening.

    Which lake?
