“Johnny Walker”

This proud little fellow was walking up and about, one early morning at Estero Beach, in Fort Myers Florida, looking for a bite to eat. He was painted with a Nikon D200, using a Nikkor AF-S 300mm f/4D IF-ED lens , and a Nikkor 1.4 T/C

Image solution:
focal length @ 630mm / exposure mode @ aperture priority / in camera matrix metering / ISO @ 320 / 1/1000sec. - f/5.6 / white balance @ cloudy / AF - mode @ dynamic range, auto - continuous / color space @ sRGB / lighting solution - no speedlight, ambient light / exposure comp @ -0.7EV / tone comp @ +1 degree / hue adjustment @ +2 degrees / saturation factor @ +2 degrees / support platform - no tripod, hand held, flat on belly /

Comments greatly appreciated...:cool:
