Hi to all,

Gannet, photographed on the east coast, does this comp work for this type of head shot, shame I missed the OOF piece of grass running through the beak, must use the DOF preview button more, thanks for looking.

DPP / CS2 ( cropped )
1/400th @ F8 -1/3rd iso400

All comments and advice most welcome

The linear change in BG to the right is a noticeable but the comp works for me .You didn't say how much of a crop nor the lens ,nice one.

Thanks for the comments Mark, the lens was a 500F4IS and I think it's about 50% of the original file.

Cheers

Nice one Andy, I remember talking to you at Bempton a few times.

Might make my way up a few times in May.

Superb light and detail in this one. Just a smidgeon tight in the frame for me.
