This little bird has three hungry mouths to feed. Her brood patch is clearly visible(thanks Paul:cool:)
1DMKIV, 600mm IS, 1.4x II.
ISO 1600, 1/500, f/10
I removed an OOF falling raindrop and smoothed out the area around it. BG is essentially as is or was :p It's about a 40% crop.
Tweaked levels, selective sharpening, NR on BG and also the eye of the bird.
That is a beautiful shot Chris. As the HA is almost perfect, could you sharpen the eye a little bit to give it even more punch? Maybe the upload "softened" it a little bit - I think you have to over-sharpen prior to upload, so it's then right when posted - not sure if anyone else feels that.
Hi Chris, nicely composed image with perfect HA. What a delicate little bird with amazing eye patch. Agree with a slight bit of sharpening of the head. Also like the background.
