Morning subject
Spent a few minutes before work this morning working on my long lens technique at a local lake. I liked the reflected eye peering back at me all by itself. Have a great weekend everyone!

50D, 100-400 @ 340, 1/750 @ f8, ISO 200, tripod, 80% of original

Excellent image. I like how the bird and reflection are balanced in the frame. I like the light coming from the right. Works well with the orientation of the bird.

This has a nice serene feel.

Nice shot Wayne. The capture is wel done and the drop shadow and gray matte only enhance the detail.

I'd say your technique is working pretty well, Wayne. Nice detail throught the bird, and nicely presented. Sorry to be getting in so late on this, but it's been one thing or another lately...

Nice detail Wayne. The reflection adds to the comp for me.
