“Does Anyone Have a Hair Brush”

This perky fellow came out of the marsh in a state of disarray, I guess he was having a bad hair day. He is one of the locals at Anhinga Trail, in Everglades National Park. He was painted with a Nikon D70s using a Nikkor AF-S 300mm f/4 D IF-ED lens, and a Nikkor 1.4 T/C.

Image Solution:
focal length @ 630mm / exposure mode @ aperture priority / matrix metering / ISO @ 400 /1/1250sec - f/8 / exposure comp @ +0.3EV / white balance @ auto / AF Mode @ AF–C, dynamic range /color mode @ sRGB / tone comp @ +1 degree / hue adjustment @ +1 degree / saturation factor @ +1 degree / no speedlight – ambient light / no tripod - hand held /

Comments greatly appreciated…:cool:
