Original fledgling, better perch....
EOS R RF 70-200 f2.8 1/1300 ISO 200 HH, Manual EXP, cropped for composition (~ 60% of FF)
This is the fledgling I spotted first on my bike ride the other night. Raised hackles from sibling flying in. This one was in dappled light from late afternoon sun coming through hanging Banyan branches. Head and tail in shadow while front breast and neck in bright late sun. Thankfully no cloning done here. I tried subtle ( I say subtle, sure you'll let me know if too much) burn and dodge on the subject. At ISO 200 noise was not a problem in those shadows and I shot wide open to soften the close grass BG. Finally, this beauty was using the natural Banyan root perch. Believe it or not, I have desat yellows and greens a few points in all recent images. Loving this RF glass. Can't wait for super telephoto of same. 200mm is challenging my field craft abilities.
