    Default Northern Ganett ready to land.

    Another Ganett picture from Bonaventure Island Quebec.
    I had some problem with this shot due to harsh light that I fixed in PP. or at least I hope I did.
    The good news is that the active focus square was sitting right on the eye/head.
    Thanks for looking.

    Good wingspread Karl, and overall well exposed. I agree, shooting at the coast is difficult to get the right light.

    nice pose and a great BG, light was tough here and the head can use more sharpening.

    You have sone pretty well considering the light, I like seeing the light through the wings...Bird pops nicely from the blue BG. I would also like to see the head a bit sharper. I can also see a dust spot below the birds right wing and above the left wing.

    Amazing coloured background here and great pose. I also agree on sharpening the head a bit more.

    Conditions well handled and very well captured!

    Karl, you've handled the light well. Wing spread is excellent and horizon line not cutting the bird is a big plus. I also like the placement of the subject in the frame.Very well done. Would love to go to this place some day.

    Thanks Kaustubh.

    It is one of the best places for Avian photography according to Artie who has been virtually everywhere where there is light and birds fly.
    If you ever want to go you might want to contact Christopher Dodds who is having workshops there. Living on a low budget, I went on my own.

    I like the lighting effect you got here. The tweaks mentioned will polish this off nicely...and don't forget the dark spot touching the tail.
