Greetings,
While making a trip across the Southwest US in early October, I made a pilgrimage to Bosque del Apache, first going to the Boardwalk. As I was setting up my gear, the few Sandhill Cranes that were there flew off. But this Heron kept me entertained for some time, once flying about ten feet off my left shoulder.
Just after sunrise. The bird and light are beautiful to my eyes. My biggest concern are the spots on the background. I tried a few things to take them out, but continued to see faint smudges. Perhaps the spots are better left alone. Please let me know.
Shot with a Canon 1DX, 500mm f/4 w/ 1.4X TC. ISO 400, 1/2000, f/5.6. Some retouching in Lightroom. Cropped for 1X1.
Thanks for the view. C&C welcome.
