Canon 10D, 100-400mm. 550ex w/BB... Handheld in Canoe.. 85% of Frame... ISO 400, 1/125, F 5.6
I created this image back in July of 2004... I wanted to post something that I hadn't put up on any other forum before. The sun had set about 20-25 minutes before I made this photo and my intention was to try to use the flash to create something "different" that showed the detailed patterns of white and black on the adult birds... this is what I ended up with.
Happy Shooting!

B, See it now! One thing I see that is distracting are the blue areas in the water. Maybe a little more black behind the Loon for a more pleasing comp. Oh, did I say I love it! Bob
This one is close to being good; it is very graphic and the exposure is good. The tail is a bit too close to the frame edge and the head looks a bit soft. You might try some selective sharpening with a contrast mask: Unshapr Mask at 15/65/0 or thereabouts.
