A couple of weeks ago I shared a photo of a stretching Lesser Yellolegs, well here's another one from this past weekend! This one has chosen a better perch too and a more soothing BG. I had some images in the series at full stretch, but with the head looking away...this one, despite having a past-peak pose, has a stronger connection to the viewer with a better head angle so for me it is better than the full-peak stretch images of the series. Always little things to consider when culling images from a morning session!
Canon 7D + 10-400L @400mm, aperture priority, evaluative metering, 1/640s., f/6.3, ISO 400, -0.3 EC, natural light, handheld with chin in the muck (I need a right angle viewer!!), about 75% FF, some debris in the water cloned/patched out, and the brighter highlights in the background toned down via burn tool.
