Technical Details

Is this a composite: No
Canon7Dll, Sigma 150-600mm, F6.3, 600mm, 1/2500, -1EV, ISO 250. The shot was cropped by 45% and I adjusted the exposure, blacks and gamma curve in DXO Pgoto Lab 4.

Excellent detail and a good job of handling that enormous contrast between the black and white plumage areas, Peter.

What a fantastic opportunity. Exposure is spot on. Details looks good, but I think there’s more to be wrung out of this one. I think I’d also look at more of a 16x9 crop.
