Picture was taken during the migration period in the Fall of 2005 in North-Eastern Germany, right before sunrise.
1D2 with 300/2.8is + 1.4x TC, 1/1000@F/4, ISO 400
Slightly cropped, a little bit of canvas added on the left side, cropped bird on the left side repaired.
This is going to sound really strange, but the thumbnail appeals to me more than the full size image. That happens to me sometimes and I have yet to figure out why exactly. A working theory is that things get "compressed" and look closer together in the thumbnails, and an image like this is really spread out.
I'll be curious to see others' comments on this one.
Nice EXP and COMP but with so many less than ideal wing positions and the birds heading away this one does not work to well for me.
later and love, artie
