Shot this yesterday in the afternoon. Sky was overcast so I bumped the ISO a bit. No fill, just natural light. The angle isn't quite eye-level. The closest place I could get a clean angle to the perch was standing on a narrow curb, with the sun shining slightly towards me from the left side.
For processing, I needed to reduce some noise. The white areas on the right side of the picture were a bit bright and needed to be adjusted down (in Viveza). For emphasis I added some slight vignetting.
Specs: Nikon D300s; Nikon 300mm (f/4) (with Kirk tripod collar), Manfrotto monopod, Benro ballhead; f/6.3, 1/640 sec., ISO 900, Exposure bias +0.3
Comments welcome.
