*istDS, raw 400 ISO, Av, -1.0EV, Tokina AT-X 150-500/5,6 and Pentax
AF1.7x,
500mm x 1.7, f:11, 1/500s.
Tripod, adjusted contrast, cliché filter (read adjusted colour towards
red)
and saturation, slightly cropped, sharpened, all in RSP.
Could off course been sharper. I could also lived happily without the
fringing around the bird. Never the less, I'm pretty happy with it.
Whatdoyouahthink? Honest and brutally. I know you are good at that,
especially at being brutal ;-)
I like the colors and the mountain in the background and even the
channel marker. But.... the real "serious" problem in my view is the
bird's head. Because it is facing us, and you can't see it's beak, it
just looks... well.... odd. If he/she was in profile, and it was a bit
sharper around the wings, it would be very nice indeed.
