Another one from yesterday, taken a few minutes before the Coot shown yesterday. This is about a 35% crop from the original (the 18 MP of the 7D allows for some substantial cropping and still having enough MP for good quality). EOS 7D, 4/500L, triopod 1/1000, f4.5, ISO 200 LR2: Recovery and Clarity both to 100, increased vibrance a bit CS4: USM with radius 0.4 and amount 140.
Beautiful shot Marcus. I feel the whites on the neck a little hot, otherwise exposed very well. Manjesh
These birds are under appreciated. Very good low shot and nice HA. Agree with Manjesh about the neck and you might be able to open up the colors on the head a little more.
I like the eye contact and Bg in this one. Nice shot Markus!
