After months of trying to help Canon(to repair 4 times) track down an intermittent electrical problem, I finally got my rig back to working order and went out for an evening with these beauties. I was hoping for late afternoon golden light, but cloud cover nixed that idea. As I approached this burrow on my belly, this brave sentinel ran to the top of the burrow mound and shot me this one stern look. Once the gaurdian saw I was no threat he promptly went to sleep.....
Lovely pose, low angle and clean BG. I would like to see more room all around as it looks too tight in the frame. Excellent feather details. I would also remove the dark black spot in the left side of the frame.
Very nice image David, you captured a great pose of a beautiful bird. Great exposure control, color and detail, it looks plenty sharp on my monitor. I don't mind the "tightness" in frame on a shot like this, IMHO more room would only benefit this shot if that extra room greatly enhanced the feel of habitat. Very well done.
A Stern Sentinel....
