40D. 400f5.6L at f/7.1. iso320. Curves and color temp. adjustment in DPP.
Unfortunately I dont have the RAW or the uncropped version of this one as I deleted it by mistake(from recycle bin too :-( ). before backing up to my external hard drive which I do quite often.
One fine image. Might darken the bottom portion just a bit to try and get it closer to the top in contrast. Love it either way. Very simple , clean image.
If you are gonna go for high in the frame, I would crop some off the top to get the bird closer to a corner. Note the relatively short de-curved bill indicative of least.

Deleted? Forever?? That's a shame. This is a very nice image. I like the idea of a little off the top. Maybe a little bit of CCW rotation. Just small changes to a great creation.
Like the color and silhouette thought. Like others say would experiment with placement of the sandpiper in the frame.
I feel for you since my best woodpecker pics got corrupted before I saved or converted them-all I have is a 15kb email. I guess it teaches us to be more careful !
Artie, thx for that tip. I agree that it will better. same room above the bird as behind. Will try it. at least I have non-resized jpg :-)
Charles, thx.....yes, it does teaches us to be careful. I am actually surprised this never happened before :-) there's always a first time for everything.
