Little Stint
One from a couple of weekends back.

Canon 500mm f/4L IS with 1.4x and 40D, ISO 200, 1/640 sec. at f/11 in manual mode, tripod. Highlight Tone Priority enabled on 40D.

Thanks

A nice image in a good clean uncluttered setting. Perhaps just a little less central would strengthen the composition further.

Thanks Justin, I went back and had another go at it, I've also adjusted the levels and I think it looks a bit better.

Hi Paul - like the repost, much better comp :toast:

The bird does look a tiny tad soft though, perhaps a little selective sharpening maybe?

Nice image all the same :toast:

Realy nice image, especially the repost. Can't see any softness myself
