Conropl, welcome here!
I agree with you, it was a hand holding and I think it's harder than regular hand holding!
it's a nice capture of eagle!
PS. this is a beautiful snow owl!, I 'v been hoping that I can see them some day!

Hey Joel,
I know you don't care for a very saturated image but I thought this one needed some more punch.

Thats the original.

And this is the edited version, I tried to keep a light hand on the saturation. But you know me![]
I used DXO and applied levels, tone curve, saturation andused HLS to selectively applysaturation to certain colors. The red border was applied when I used screan snipping tool to make a screen capture because my paid version of DXO is still in the mail and I'm to lazy to re-download and instal DXO.[:P]
What do you think?
John.
John,
You certainly made it pretty !! Nothing wrong with what you did, I like the colorful look but it is no where close to what it looks like to my eyes in real life.
I would like to try DXO sometime, I have heard some good things about it.
Joel
Here is another recent image from the yard ..... a little more saturated !! I was lucky to get a sharp image at 1/250.
1DMKIII
300mm 2.8L IS USM + 1.4TC II
ISO 1000
f/7.1
1/250

I hope you don't mind! I know I'm not very good at it but thought I'd give it a try!
You guys are making me want to gostand outside in 5 degree weatherand wait for a bird to appear ...and it takes ALOT to get me to want to do that!
