A very breezy morning just upstream from the Lachine Canal on the Island of Montreal. A very coy look. Canon 40D, 100 - 400 mm handheld, f11.0, 1/1000s. Thanks!
HI James - nice looking bird. Like the pose and the head angle is good.
Always try to have the sun lined up behind you - otherwise you will have the effect you see here with half your bird in shadow and the eye not really visible. You could try lightening the eye don't know that you are going to get much out of it but worth a try.
Also looks a little soft - is it a large crop???
Hi James,
A nice composition and capture indeed...agree with Mr. Peters on the lighting issue...I would go ahead and open up the eye area and selective sharpen...you still have details there...looking forward to your next one...:cool:
