    JJ,


    Really nice shot (Coopers Hawk I guess?) ... very sharp and really nice pose / head angle ... look a little too saturated to me especially the yellows.


    Very cool to get close to any raptor!

    This is a bird that seldom comes out of the brush for a chance at a clear picture ... the Eastern Towhee .. the severe weather has caused even these stout hearted birds to come to the feeders

    Hi JJ,


    I really like this one, but I think the sharpening is a little too strong. A heavy crop? I like the colors. I think you could pull the highlights a little bit in levels/tone curve.


    Nice one overall,


    John.

    thanks guys for the comments! I was trying to offset some IQ loss of the picture post it here, I guess I overdid it for both sharpness and color[:O] I only cropped it a bit John, I got pretty close to this guy.

    I don't really get that John, are you saying it's a little underexposed on the highlights? or overexposed?

    So, a few GBHs flew by while I was shooting eagles. We also had a seal sunning itself on a rock and a few ducks. A good morning []

    Thats funny Kayaker, I was uploading these as you posted yours. I have about the same story. Small lake here has an eagle nest on it and the lake is frozen. He kept landing about 400 yards away on the ice and I never got a decent shot.


    I was also trying out the new 1.4x III. Not to sure it was performing better than the old yet as a lot of pics weren't to sharp. I need to try it again.


    But I did this guy F5.6 , 1/1600, ISO250
