Canon 20D Canon 500mm F4 LIS plus 1.4TC mounted on Gitzo 3530 plus Mongoose.
After all the time and effort I took in approaching the bird I have to admit I am a little disappointed with this shot. I was pleased with the pose and I thought the light was going to be interesting as it was low and from the side. I feel there is insufficient light on the head and eye. I played around with curves and Shadows/Highlights but I guess you just can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. i.e you can't put in what wasn't there!!
I am thinking retrospectively here - maybe I should always take my flash gun and in this instance perhaps it would have made all the difference.
All comments welcome, thanks for looking
Jon
