Shot this today at Ding Darling (Florida). Went there early in the morning, low tide, but still very few birds :(
I managed to take this picture of a great blue heron with my Canon 7D and 500 f4 mk I
ISO800
1/800
f4
Cropped to square from vertical. Very mild adjustments; boosted the contrast and resized for posting.
As always, C&C are welcomed and encouraged.
Thanks for looking!
