High Key Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo Portrait

[Tom Rambaut]

Took this image the other day. A species I have wanted to photograph for some time.

1D MK 4 - 500mm + 1.4ext, HH, 1/800 @ 7.1. ISO 1000. Ev 0. ( I rushed the image and could have added +1 or more of comp.). This guy sat in the open for only 10 second or so. Grabbed this image and by the time I had looked at the histogram bird had moved on. NR on bird strong with selective sharpening around eye and yellow feather patch.

Thanks Tom

Tom, great image. Nice feather detail, especially in the yellows. The top of the bill seems to blend with the BG, maybe try to get more definition of the beak.
