Great to get one back at the pool again yesterday. First for over a year. The winter really wallopped these in the forest here. Very flighty birds at water though. They take a long time to settle.
Nikon D7000 Sigma 100-300mm
800 ISO 125th @f9 Exposure EV down I stop/spot
HD lighting up Contrast down
Light balance 2(warmer)
Neat image/ Sharpen CZM
80% of full image.
Small white leaf cloned out.
Have a look at the biggie
Cheers
JR

Lovely quality John (as always), and I especially like the effect of the ripples on the water.

Thanks both Daves - your interest much appreciated.
Considering the amount of time it takes preparing pics for this forum (not counting the time needed to take them ! ) in relation to the response - it seems obvious that it is hardly worth the effort. Not sure whats happened to the forum but it isn't the one I joined.
