Cormorant
My first post on here finally!! Taken on a mini meet back in July at Sandwich Bay in Kent. This one was very accomodating and posed for as long as we needed it to..and longer.
Canvas stretched a tad at the bottom, as he was too close.
40D,100-400L IS. 1/320,f7.1,ISO 200

Looking forward to meeting some of you soon

Well done Fran
Nice one. Is this a full frame or could you get a bit more on the right ? I would also take the gamma down a bit to get some "guts" into the beak area.
Good one though.
Cheers

a very nice image, lovely and sharp and well exposed. I would also prefer a bit more room on the right.

HI Fran, agree with John about the processing. Remember being told about this one later that day.
Good to see you yesterday.

Agree with comments already mentioned but I do like the low angle and the full frontal pose. Very appealing.

Not an easy bird to get close to. A very nice shot indeed and all the nits have been covered for me. Welcome aboard.

Hi everyone, and thank you all for the nice welcome :smile:

John, the bird was full frame sadly.

All your points have been taken on board, much appreciated.

Hi Fran, Welcome to the forum and a great first post. Bit tight on the right as mentioned but a great low angle and nicely exposed and processed. Look forward to more :toast:
