Found this guy on a local pond. Looks like he hasn't missed many meals. Comments and critiques welcome. Processed using Photoshop CS3, NeatImage and LightZone

Canon 7D Mark II
Canon 200-400 f4 L IS
f6.3
1/2000 s
ISO 320
Focal Length 560mm (Teleconverter engaged)

I was shooting flying birds at the time, hence the settings for a fast shutter speed.

I wonder if this chunky fellow can still fly? Cool capture and nice exposure, Jerry.
