Hi folks a second image of this species , taken on a different Island of the Falklands .
Most animals are not that shy on the archipelago ...
If you look closely , you can see the lined up photographers

F 5,6 ; 1/3200 sec ; Iso 800
Processed with DT 4.6.1 and PSCC 2024 ; slight crop for comp ....
Hope you like it
Thanks for watching and commenting to my recent postings
Thanks Kevin and Jon for your kind comments , even images way from the past can look good . Never processed it before ...
@ Jon ... love your wording , when you use that combo you REALLY like what you are seeing . I hear you regarding my label , my bad , is it an automated process .... I should better keep an eye on the position !! Thank you for the pointer
Stunning detail Andreas. Fantastic composition and a very fine portrait!!
You must have been close to get a portrait with the 70-200
Not much to nit but I will say that when I looked at the thumbnail, it appears to be a lighter halo around the entire subject, almost some sort of masking glow or something. I can see it as well at full size.
Very unusual for your images and not sure why, but probably not noticeable for most.
Thanks Gerald and Brian for your kind comments , much appreciated .
@ Brian ... yeah been close , they are not very shy on some Falkland Islands . Mr Eagle eye found a halo ... ... well I did not realized it , only after reading your comment . Went back and had a closer look , there is a faint wide " halo " .... coming from BG editing during processing . Personally I have not seen it ... and do actually not see it , at least not that it is bothering me . The reason is quite simple ... the curve adjustments to the BG were done through masks ( blurred masks ) so there is a possibility to create some faint halo .
Thanks for pointing that " issue "
