A love the simplicity of form and colour in this image. Would have liked it more with a little highlight in the eye.

1D3 ISO 400 1/250 f6.3 500mm +1.4tc

Hi Paul,

This looks to be a large crop, is this the case? As the image looks a little soft and there is a fair bit of noise/artefacts in the BG, which I would not expect FF at ISO 400 on a MKIII. If it is a crop reduce it by about 20% add some more USM and saturation and you'll have a stunner.

Regards

Rob

Paul,

It's a bit on the large size :wink: . I can't see the image without having to scroll the screen.

Hi Paul,

I like the pose but agree this does look like a large crop.

Excellent picture in there somewhere. Certainly start with usm and a bit of contrast and see what you have then.
