Taken last week while visiting Newfoundland. I found this, what I think is an unusual portrait, pleasing. Hope you like it too. MKIV, 500 f/4, 1/250, f/10, ISO 100.
This really is an usual shape of the head. Did the wind blow from behind? I would go for a slightly wider crop and might lighten the shadow of the beak. I'm surprised the image appears to be quite noisy considering the body and ISO 100. Is this a heavy crop?
Unusual and interesting portrait. I too would like a wider crop. Also this shot would benefit from greater dof. I realize that this is difficult with the 500mm.
