Partly overcast morning at Edmonds Beach, Washington. 1/400 f/10 ISO 400. Handheld (sitting) Canon 50D with 70-200 2.8L IS USM II with 2x extender at 370mm. Av mode, +1 Exposure Compensation, Evaluative metering. Processed in Lightroom 4. Removed some of the debris immediately surrounding the subject and background. Added some Saturation and Vibrance. Brushed bird only with reduced Shadows and Highlights and exposure -.23. I realize that having the subject centered is not ideal, tried several crops, but I kept losing parts of the background or environment that I liked.
