Little Blue heron & 50-D

[bill kominsky]

I will be posting images now from my 50-D and hope there better. This one is a Little Blue Heron Profile taken at Green Cay Wetlands.
ISO=400 at F/8 with 500-MM IS-L and a 0-EC.
All C/C's are very welcome and appreciated, thank you all.

This is very nice Bill. Beautiful, "dreamy" BG and great colours on the bird. Comp is good and there's lots of sharpness. The only downside for me- and it's a small one- is the lack of eye contact. It's very close but the bird is looking down a little. Maybe I'm in a rut on this and need to think more out of the box.

Hope you are enjoying the new body. Should have mine by Monday.

Lovely portrait and the background has a very painterly look. Good color and detail. Glad you are enjooying the new camera.

[Ramon M. Casares]

Great shot, although the light seems harsh and it also looks a it oversaturated to me, and a bit noisy too, still, the BG and the nice comp are great here. Congratulaitons!

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Very striking image Bill with a very lovely BG and Composition. Looks like the new camera is working very well for you. Big congratulations and will look forward to seeing many more.

Sweet colors and nice composition. Only suggestion I'd make is to tone down the beak/forehead from the strong light.

[Doug Brown]

Well done Bill! Agree with above suggestions. Hopefully the new body will solve your focus issue!

[Juan Aragonés]

I agree with Ramón about the oversaturation

[Nagesh Mula]

Well shot but a bit a Oversaturation as pointed out by Ramon.

[Ramon M. Casares]

Hi, here's my version, I just desaturated and darkened only the the heron a bit and reduced the noise in the BG and in the Heron as well, hope you don't mind.

[Glenn Price]

Great shot! Like the contrast in the warm background and the cool tones in the bird. I think Ramon's tweaks make the photo even better.
